it's British journalism on religion, so take it with a grain of salt

Rumors are circulating Bush might convert to Catholicism. Does this mean Westboro Baptist will claim Bush is the antichrist now or something like that? The Bush 2 administration has done enough stuff to force futurists to consider Bush a possible antichrist that I'm surprised I haven't heard more about this. After all, Bush's administration has promiosed to work toward a settlement between the Israelis and Palestinians, and are attempting to export democracy to other nations. Some liberals have been saying for years Bush is an antichrist or the antichrist but if Bush converted to Catholicism there are a lot of fundamentalists or hard-core Protestants who would have to say Bush's faith is dubious at best if he converts or say that though the Catholic church is a false religion that Bush is nonetheless still a believer. That sort of exceptionalism might even work, though it would rquire one to supposed that plenty of people who profess to be born again aren't. Then again, that's precisely what some people have suspected to be true of the President, that he's not really as born again as is convenient to advertise during election years.

Still, British journalism about religion is what gave us (fromt eh TElegraph no less) specious reports that Gorby was a closet Christian. My hunch is that if the Telegraph reports it on religion it's probably NOT true.

What IS apparently true is that Bishop N. T. Wright will appear on the Colbert report.
