The Pope Asks Catholics to Fast on March 5 against the War


"We Christians in particular are called upon to be sentinels of peace," John Paul
said, calling on Catholics to dedicate their fasting on Ash Wednesday, March 5, for
the cause of peace.

On that day, the pope said, faithful will pray for "the conversion of hearts and the
long- range vision of just decisions to resolve disputes with adequate and
peaceful means."

He said that the fast, which Catholics traditionally conduct at the start of Lent to
prepare themselves for Easter, is an "expression of penitence for the hate and
violence which pollute human relations." ...

So, let me see if I get this straight: that means Bush* doesn't have a direct mandate from God to remake the world in PNAC's image and he did not speak for Christians any more than he speaks for the American people? Wow! I guess the moral "high ground" just shifted under his feet.
