Pope may find US on his wavelength

President Bush is not a Catholic. And unlike his good friend Tony Blair, he probably never will be.
Yet the very Protestant Mr Bush is clearly an admirer of Pope Benedict XVI and is pulling out all the stops for his first visit to the United States as pontiff.
For a start, the president and his wife Laura are making the rare gesture of going to meet Pope Benedict at Andrew's Air Force Base when he lands on Tuesday evening.
Normally world leaders and heads of state have to make the journey to the White House to see Mr Bush.
