Bush Insults Pope
Bush has made another diplomatic gaffe when visiting the Vatican today.
Vatican City - US President George W Bush drew gasps at the Vatican on Saturday by referring to Pope Benedict XVI as "sir" instead of the expected "His Holiness", pool reporters said.
Of course, Bush is not Catholic and is President of the most powerful nation in the world. There is really no reason for him to put himself beneath the Pope, besides the fact he is a bit younger. A US President is far more powerful then the Pope or the Queen of England for that matter. It seems perverse that they must be treated with more respect and honor in diplomatic circles.
