President Bush met with the Pontiff today and, following tradition, the two exchanged gifts.
President Bush gave the pope a Moses walking stick engraved with the Ten Commandments — one of Wilkerson's creations — during a visit Saturday to the Vatican. The president described the stick as "a piece of art by a former homeless man from Texas ... Dallas."
"The Ten Commandments?" asked the pope.
"The Ten Commandments, yes, sir," the president responded.
Nice story.
