Bush's attendance at the Pope's funeral merely masks White House
exploitation of Catholic division
Sidney Blumenthal
Thursday April 7, 2005
The Guardian
President Bush, a militant evangelical Protestant, has lowered the
American flag to half-staff for the first time at the death of a pope.
Also for the first time, a US president will attend a papal funeral.
Bush's political rhetoric is deliberately inflected with Catholic
theological phrases, in particular "the culture of life", words he used
to justify his interference in the case of Terri Schiavo, the
brain-damaged woman, the removal of whose feeding tube was upheld 19
times by state and federal courts.
