Vatican City - US President George W Bush drew gasps at the Vatican on Saturday by referring to Pope Benedict XVI as "sir" instead of the expected "His Holiness", pool reporters said.
They could clearly hear the US leader say "Yes, sir" when the pope asked him if he was going to meet with officials of the lay Catholic Sant'Egidio community at the US embassy later during his visit.
What with all the hyper ventilated groveling that accompanied Queen Elizabeth (excuse me, I mean Her Majesty's) trip to America, have we all become a country of monarchists ?
