The Ratzinger-Bush connection


A Citizens for Legitimate Government link connected me with a Newsday article that sheds light on an interesting if somewhat puzzling connection between Joseph Ratzinger, recently renamed Pope Benedict XVI and Neil Bush, W's younger brother.

The article describes the supposedly nonprofit ecumenical organization as:

The Foundation for Interreligious and Intercultural Research and Dialogue was founded in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1999 to promote ecumenical understanding and publish original religious texts, said a foundation official.

While the article does not give any clear reason for Bush's involvement,
it does say that the organization is listed by Dun & Bradstreet business credit reports as a "management trust for purposes other than education, religion, charity or research."

Hmmm....
