...Sept. 21 Gallup poll found that 90 percent of Americans approve of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as President and only 6 percent disapprove. On Oct. 8, Gallup reported that 90 percent approve of the bombings in Afghanistan and only 5 percent disapprove. Such numbers are unheard of: since the first national presidential approval polls were taken in the 1930s, the highest approval rating ever was Franklin D.

But that is not an option when it comes to who celebrates the sacraments, even though 71% of American Catholics surveyed in a May 2000 Gallup poll favored having female priests. Still, Rome has not budged on the issue. In 1994 Pope John Paul II emphatically restated the ban in a pastoral letter, and the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith declared his decision "infallible" and "not...open to debate."
