I'm a former Catholic. Entire family is still Catholic. I'm very familiar with Catholic doctrine (to the point of revulsion). Bush is more out of line with Catholicism than Obama is. Bush supports the death penalty (opposed by the Catholic church), and Bush invaded Iraq (opposed by the Catholic church), yet Bush gets an honorary degree from Notre Dame without fanfare, while Obama's honorary degree is hounded with controversy over the single issue of abortion. Where were these loudmouths who oppose Obama's presence at Notre Dame on the issue of sex abuses committed by Catholic priest-pedophiles? I suppose the logic must be: don't abort those fetuses so when they grow up, they can be fondled by their local priest then sent to Iraq and beheaded by Al qaida.
I am in favor of helping women not have unwanted pregnancies but realize that my religious background can not be forced onto other Americans. How would we feel if "Sharia Law" was imposed on us? I hope abortions will lower w/ better birth control\ education. Bush did nothing to stop abortion. No Republican president has promoted ending Roe vs Wade. Obama, like Clinton, agrees that women should be the one to call the shots.
W Bush gladly executed hundreds of convicts like no other governor or president. Bush\ Cheney are responsible for the thousands of death in a contrived\ immoral war & then vetoed funding to assist the wound solders & provide GI assistance. These are moral upstanding people?

FYI.
Bush received an honorary law degree from Notre Dame on May 20, 2001.
So, let's call it even.
The premise of this question is wrong on so many levels. Get over GWB, OP. He's NEVER GOING TO BE PRESIDENT AGAIN!
And I thank God every day that he is not.

Neither are Catholic so what does it matter?
