Mind you, as a Lutheran I believe myself to be my own "Priest, Bishop, and Pope," so "the Pope" has been critiquing Bush's policy for a time now. That said here is the article.
Pope John Paul II is expected to warn President George W. Bush when the two men meet on June 4 that his policy in Iraq is wrong and the actions of US troops are damaging efforts to bring religions closer together, a senior Vatican official said Thursday.
Cardinal Pio Laghi said the US-led occupation force in Iraq should be replaced by "a multinational presence which is not dominated by those who wanted and fought the war".
It was not enough for a military force in Iraq not to be under US command, "it must not even give the impression that it is", he said.
