This
is an
example of how some people with worldly power and money take
advantage of honest citizens and the poor, and believe that
they are above the law due to their social status.
Shortly after Pope Benedict
XVI's election in 2005, President Bush met with a small circle
of advisers in the Oval Office. As some mentioned
their own religious backgrounds, the president remarked that
he had read one of the new pontiff's books about faith and
culture in Western Europe.
Save for one other soul, Bush
was the only non-Catholic in the room. But his interest in
the pope's writings was no surprise to those around him. As
the White House prepares to welcome Benedict on Tuesday, many
in Bush's inner circle expect the pontiff to find a kindred
spirit in the president. Because if Bill Clinton can
be called America's first black president, some say,
then George W. Bush could well be the nation's first
Catholic president.
This isn't as strange a notion
as it sounds. Yes, there was John F. Kennedy. But where Kennedy
sought to divorce his religion from his office, Bush
has welcomed Roman Catholic doctrine and teachings into the
White House and based many important domestic policy
decisions on them.
"I
don't think there's any question about it," says Rick
Santorum, former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania and a devout
Catholic, who was the first to give Bush the "Catholic
president" label. "He's certainly much more Catholic
than Kennedy."
Bush attends an Episcopal church
in Washington and belongs to a Methodist church in Texas,
and his political base is solidly evangelical. Yet this Protestant
president has surrounded himself with Roman Catholic intellectuals,
speechwriters, professors, priests, bishops and politicians.
These Catholics -- and thus Catholic social teaching
-- have for the past eight years been shaping Bush's speeches,
policies and legacy to a degree perhaps unprecedented in U.S.
history.
"I used to say that there
are more Catholics on President Bush's speechwriting team
than on any Notre Dame starting lineup in the past half-century,"
said former Bush scribe -- and Catholic -- William McGurn.
Bush has also placed Catholics
in prominent roles in the federal government and relied on
Catholic tradition to make a public case for everything from
his faith-based initiative to antiabortion legislation. He
has wedded Catholic intellectualism with evangelical political
savvy to forge a powerful electoral coalition.
"There is an awareness in the
White House that the rich Catholic intellectual tradition
is a resource for making the links between Christian faith,
religiously grounded moral judgments and public policy,"
says Richard John Neuhaus, a Catholic priest and editor of
the journal First Things who has tutored Bush in the church's
social doctrines for nearly a decade.
In the late 1950s, Kennedy's
Catholicism was a political albatross, and he labored to distance
himself from his church. Accepting the Democratic
nomination in 1960, he declared his religion "not relevant."
Bush and his administration,
by contrast, have had no such qualms about their Catholic
connections. At times, they've even seemed to brandish
them for political purposes. Even before he got to the White
House, Bush and his political guru Karl Rove invited Catholic
intellectuals to Texas to instruct the candidate on the church's
social teachings. In January 2001, Bush's first public outing
as president in the nation's capital was a dinner with Washington's
then-archbishop, Theodore McCarrick. A few months later, Rove
(an Episcopalian) asked former White House Catholic adviser
Deal Hudson to find a priest to bless his West Wing office.
"There was a very self-conscious
awareness that religious conservatives had brought Bush into
the White House and that [the administration] wanted to do
what they had been mandated to do," says Hudson.
To conservative Catholics, that
meant holding the line on same-sex marriage, euthanasia
and embryonic stem cell research, and working to limit abortion
in the United States and abroad while nominating
judges who would eventually outlaw it. To make the
case, Bush has often borrowed Pope John Paul II's mantra of
promoting a "culture of life." Many Catholics close
to him believe that the approximately 300 judges he
has seated on the federal bench -- most notably Catholics
John Roberts and Samuel Alito on the Supreme Court -- may
yet be his greatest legacy.
