The president will stop in Vatican City as part of European tour
President Barack Obama will travel to Italy in March to meet with Pope Francis for the first time, the White House announced Tuesday.
The March 27 visit to the Vatican comes as part of a European tour during which Obama will also visit the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy.
"The president looks forward to discussing with Pope Francis their shared commitment to fighting poverty and growing inequality," said a White House statement.
Before arriving in Vatican City, Obama will spend two days in the Netherlands participating in the Nuclear Security Summit, hosted by the Dutch government. Those gathered will discuss security processes for nuclear materials, the statement said.
“...their shared commitment to fighting poverty and growing inequality...”
If the Pope doesn’t make clear that he does NOT share Obama’s commitment to coercive redistribution by government, then the Pope is part of the problem.
If the Pope allows photos of himself shaking hands with Obama, and laughing, and smiling, the Pope is as much of the problem as Dolan and O’Malley.
Time for a “ROAD TRIP”
I wonder whether there will be enough snow on the hill in Aspen so the Mooch and her spawns can take some much needed time off??
And the Church and the World survived. It will this time too.

Stop in Netherlands to fill the drug cabinet.
