The political magazine, Counterpunch, reports that people close to the Pope say the Pontiff "wishes he was younger and in better health to confront the possibility that Bush may represent the person prophesized in Revelations".

And, according to journalists close to the Vatican, the Pope is also concerned that the 9-11 attacks were known in advance by senior Bush administration officials. There is a perception within the Roman Catholic hierarchy that a coup d'état was implemented, giving Bush near-dictatorial powers.
