Growing in Faith Pope asks Bush to reject funding

Submitted photo for embryonic stem-cell research CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy (CNS)— Pope John Paul II asked President George W. Bush to oppose research on stem cells from embryos, as the U.S. leader deliber- ated over releasing federal funds for the practice. Meeting July 23 with Bush for the first time, the pope said the United States had a “special responsibility” to the rest of the world and could point the way to a “truly humane future” by defending human life and dignity through legislation. Bush, accompanied by his wife, Laura, and 19-year-old daughter Barbara, arrived at the papal summer residence southwest of Rome in a motorcade of black Cadillac limousines flying American flags. The president met with the pope behind closed doors for 30 minutes. Afterward, joined by Vatican officials and Bush’s entourage, the leaders exchanged speeches and small gifts. In his speech, the pope told Bush that political decisions regarding human life “have the gravest consequences for the future of civilization.” Sixty-five young people from across the archdiocese gathered at Fatima Retreat House in Indianapolis for the Catholic Leadership Conference The widespread legalization of abor- July 16-20 to learn how to be better leaders in youth ministry.
