WASHINGTON DC -- According to freelance journalist Wayne Madsden, "George W 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."

Madsen, a Washington-based writer and columnist, who often writes for Counterpunch, says that 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 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.

Madsen contends that "Bush is a dangerous right-wing ideologue who couples his political fanaticism with a neo-Christian blood cult."

I would prefer if they gave out names of the people close to the Pope who said these things....

Interesting article though.
I mean its logical to think the Pope and the Catholic Church actually believe the armageddon is coming, and that the 'antichrist' is coming........but I dont think there is any evidence that Bush is the antichrist... maybe Arnold

Neo, I am not a Bush booster but stories like this are at best at the same level as the stories that the Clinton's murdered 100 people in Arkansas and that Gov Clinton received drugs from South America brought in by the CIA under a Republican controlled White House( PAPA BUSH WHITE HOUSE).

The best thing that I can say about this story is that it is --UNGOOD !!!!!

I'm no fan of Bush's job performance, but I doubt he is the Anti-Christ.

Although I am not ruling out the possibility that he will be the Anti-Christ's assistant.

Maybe there are very few posters who would find this as anything but ridiculous is why.

Bush can't be the Anti-Christ. I would think Clinton, but he's not good-looking. JFK Jr. would've been a good choice. Are there any good-looking Kennedy's left?
