Vatican believes Bush may be the Anti-Christ

It's "'Bout Time" you repugnants hear it because its true. You all devout Christians may be worshipping the anti-christ. You all may be yearning for the time of evil to reign on earth---or has it begun already? The Vatican suspects so. Who am I to question the Vatican? Who are you to question?

Bush's blood lust, his repeated commitment to Christian beliefs, and his constant references to "evil doers," in the eyes of many devout Catholic leaders, bear all the hallmarks of the one warned about in the Book of Revelations - the anti-Christ. People close to the Pope claim that amid these concerns, the Pontiff wishes he was younger and in better health to confront the possibility that Bush may represent the person prophesized in Revelations. John Paul II has always believed the world was on the precipice of the final confrontation between Good and Evil as foretold in the New Testament. Before he became Pope, Karol Cardinal Wojtyla said, "We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel." The Pope, who grew up facing the evils of Hitler and Stalin, knows evil when he sees it. Although we can all endlessly argue over the Pope's effectiveness in curtailing abuses within his Church, his accomplishments external to Catholicism are impressive.

According to journalists close to the Vatican, the Pope and his closest advisers are also concerned that the ultimate acts of evil - the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon - were known in advance by senior Bush administration officials. By permitting the attacks to take their course, there is a perception within the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy that a coup d'etat was implemented, one that gave Bush and his leadership near-dictatorial powers to carry out their agenda.

The Pope worked tirelessly to convince leaders of nations on the UN Security Council to oppose Bush's war resolution on Iraq. Vatican sources claim they had not seen the Pope more animated and determined since he fell ill to Parkinson's Disease. In the end, the Pope did convince the leaders of Mexico, Chile, Cameroon, and Guinea to oppose the U.S. resolution. If one were to believe in the Book of Revelations, as the Pope fervently does, he can seek solace in scoring a symbolic victory against the Bush administration.

Well, if the reporters are correct in what they say the Pope and friends think, then the Pope and friends really need to sit down and read Daniel, Isiah, and Revelations...

"The devil's child will rise in the world of politics"

I'm not sure about Bush being the anti-christ, but most of us can agree that he's evil.

I don't think that he is any more evil than a puppet; it is the puppetier that you have to watch out for.

He's evil that's for sure, Bangin. We can't let the anti-christ back in office.

Yeah, I'll go and tell him. I was on my way to teach Michael Jordan how to play basketball anyway.

One only has to check out Bush's record as Governor of Texas to see his own preference for death over life. During his tenure as Governor, Bush presided over a record setting 152 executions, including the 1998 execution of fellow born-again Christian Karla Faye Tucker, a convicted murderer who later led a prison ministry. Forty of Bush's executions were carried out in 2000, the year the Bush presidential campaign was spotlighting their candidate's strong law enforcement record. The Washington Post's Richard Cohen reported in October 2000 that one of the execution chamber's "tie-down team" members, Fred Allen, had to prepare so many people for lethal injections during 2000, he quit his job in disgust.

Bush mocked Tucker's appeal for clemency. In an interview with Talk magazine, Bush imitated Tucker's appeal for him to spare her life - pursing his lips, squinting his eyes, and in a squeaky voice saying, "Please don't kill me." That went too far for former GOP presidential candidate Gary Bauer, himself an evangelical Christian. "I think it is nothing short of unbelievable that the governor of a major state running for president thought it was acceptable to mock a woman he decided to put to death," said Bauer.

Bush is no more a Christian than Hitler was. Both used Christianity as a means to bring death and destruction.
No decent right-minded person, let alone Christian, could mock a person condemned to death in such a way. I don't believe in the death penalty anyway since there have been far too many miscarriages of justice. Bush is even worse - he ordered the deaths of people even when there was evidence of innocence.

If you can't give life, then you have no right to give death. At best, Bush is a hypocrite, at worse a Satanist and murderer.

I remember someone told me that Hitler was a catholic,never knew genocide was apart of catholism

Well, if you miss out the Albigensian crusade and the Inquisition ... you're right

After reading the Bible I have come to the conclusion it and all books like it are nothing more than farytales that create a situation for control of the masses by the higher ups, Vatican, Government, stuff like that. I don't believe in God. I think the Vatican is stretching it a bit calling Bush this mythical Anti-Christ.

That being said I must say he (Bush) is one arrogant self rightous SOB IMHO! Do you remember Carla Fay Tucker? She was the first woman executed in about 100 years in Texas a while back. Not getting into rather she deserved it or not, BTW I dont believe in the death penalty so maybe I'm a little bias anyway, when Bush was asked to give her a final 30 day posponment before her execution because certain folks thought she had rehabilitated herself during the time she spent on death row Bush replied, "Let God sort it out." and refused to give her a final stay. This to me says a lot about the way he thinks and I see this same attitude in everything he does, especially in his was on terror. I think he is a religious fanatic just like OBL.

Nah, the Pope doesn't believe Bush is the AntiChrist... but he does believe that Bush is a very foolish man and a poor leader. Bush doesn't have any of the "signs of the Antichrist of Revelation" besides being a man and a leader.

The idea that he is the Anti-Christ sounds repugnant to me.

He is way too unpopular to be. The Anti-Christ, in my mind, would be the sort to allow all sorts of perversion rather than restrict it.

He also would be much more popular, unassuming, humble, and well spoken. How else could you sway the masses to such a level.

Remember, the Anti-Christ is not just that for the country, but the world.

Seems to me, he wouldn't label himself a war president, but rather a peace president.

The Vatican let Hitler do his # under their nose. They no right to say that about Bush. The catholic church as is is the anti-christ. There are a very few faithful that are catholic but with all the scandals going on with them it is obvious they do not represent Jesus.
God Bless the Pope and please enable him to fill the hole in the church.

I think this photo says it all

My die hard republican grandmom showed that photo shortly after Bush was inagurated with a caption over the Pope reading " My God he cant be that stupid."

Funny funny funny

I have always had my doubts about anyone who thumps the bible so hard, and he's no exception. Wearing ones spirituality on ones ....what was that about the sack cloth wearers?

And just look to the followers of Bush & the fact that he's not a 2% of the vote in all polls, where his actions/inactions would have had anyone else: he's not a sophiticated persons perception of the anti-christ, but he is the personification of one to the masses of the great unwashed.

Sorry, this is the best I can do on such short notice.

I don't really think that Bush is the anti-christ, but what do I know? I think the Church leaders probably know more about that stuff than I do.

The more things I read about Bush, the more I can see that he is an evil person, I wish other people could. My girlfriend and her father are very very Christian, and also very republican. It sucks, because while I'm not a democrat, I don't favor Bush in the least. We sometimes get into arguments, and when I ask her why they like Bush she says "well he's a Christian." Yeah, like a Christian would mock a woman who is sentenced to death, much less allow the woman to be sentenced to death. I will tell her things about Bush, but she doesn't believe me. She says "oh you're reading too much on your silly conspiracy websites." Or something like that. It's hard to deal with because I wish she would see that just because he claims to be a Christian, he's far from.

I'm sorry to ask this in the middle of this thread, but I've been wanting a chance to talk about it and ask if people could help me. Does anyone have some kind of comprehensive list on a website or anything of the reasons people shouldn't like Bush? Reason's he's not such a good guy? This would be a good thing to help me try to help her. If anyone could do this for me, I'd be quite appreciative. I'm gonna try doing searches and compiling my own list, but if theres something out there already it wouldn't be prudent for me to go out and do it again.

But so yeah... I'd say Bush is just a puppet. Not quite anti-christ material.

bush hasnt performed miracles, wasnt shot in the head and miraciously heal himself, no one world religion, he doesnt demand worship, everyone doesnt admire him, etc so umm he cant be the anti-christ, plus noone knows when he'll appear, even the most faithful will be fooled.
