The idiot Joe Biden is in Rome to essentially thumb his nose at the Pope. The Obama Administration is basically telling the Pope to kiss his ass by sending a Catholic that supports abortion to his inaugural mass.
Pope Francis is on record stating that he will not give communion to any Catholic politician that advocates abortion or birth control yet the Administration wants to push it by sending VP as a representative, perhaps to cause a mini-crisis. To test the Pope.
I think it is low-classed to say the least and shows a lack of respect for the church on Obama's part. It would have been more classy simply to make a call to the Pope. Instead they want to rub it in his face.
Despicable.
New Pope Francis I is a conservative in the mold of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II. That’s especially true on the issue of abortion, which he called a “death sentence” for the unborn in 2007. “We aren’t in agreement with the death penalty,” he said during that speech, “but in Argentina we have the death penalty. A child conceived by the rape of a mentally ill or retarded woman can be condemned to death.”
In the Aparecida Document, a document that represents a joint statement by Latin American church leaders but presented by Francis in 2007, the leaders stated, “we should commit ourselves to ‘eucharistic coherence,’ that is, we should be conscious that people cannot receive holy communion and at the same time act or speak against the commandments, in particular when abortions, euthanasia, and other serious crimes against life and family are facilitated. This responsibility applies particularly to legislators, governors, and health professionals.”
The Vatican has been gracious by not protesting. You won't hear a negative word from them. That is the classy way to react to people who they know are doing something they know is against their wishes. They may mention something in private but they don't blast it to the press like Obama always does. Maybe Obama should try to learn something from Pope Francis.
I expect criticism for even starting this thread......but if it were not for the constant demonizing of his opposition by Obama I probably wouldn't have cared less. That is the only reason I mention it. I also expect the liberals to ignore this paragraph.
