WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush said Monday he is looking forward to attending Pope John Paul II's funeral and expressing Americans' gratitude for the life of such a courageous, moral and holy man.

As Bush prepared to leave for Vatican City later this week, he recalled a trip to the pope's summer residence as one of the fondest memories of his presidency. He said even though they didn't agree on everything, he always appreciated hearing the pope's point of view.
