President Obama has decided to greet Pope Francis with transgendered activists, the first gay Episcopal Bishop who is now already divorced, and activist Catholic nuns. The Vatican is not happy about it and is pushing back.
“ On the eve of Pope Francis’s arrival in the U.S., the Vatican has taken offense at the Obama administration’s decision to invite to the pope’s welcome ceremony transgender activists, the first openly gay Episcopal bishop and an activist nun who leads a group criticized by the Vatican for its silence on abortion and euthanasia.
The Obama Administration is no doubt thrilled to make a show of it and push a secularist, anti-Catholic agenda while embarrassing Pope Francis and putting the Pope in an awkward political position.
“ According to a senior Vatican official, the Holy See worries that any photos of the pope with these guests at the White House welcoming ceremony next Wednesday could be interpreted as an endorsement of their activities.
But Barack Obama would never do this if the Pope was a major trading partner, had a military, or was a totalitarian despot who snuffed out human rights activists.
This was, after all, the President of the United States who sent the Dalai Lama out the back door by the trash so as not to offend the Chinese.
This is the President who turned his back on the Iranian Green Revolution so he could do business with Iran’s totalitarian dictators.
The Chinese Premier is coming for a state visit. What are the odds that the President will greet him with Tibetan dissidents and Taiwanese freedom protestors. What are the odds there will be any there who fled after Tiananmen? I put the odds and slightly less than zero.
Then, of course, there are the Cubans. The President did nothing to work to improve the situation of Cuban human rights activists in jail. He turned a blind eye to them while trying to improve relations with that totalitarian regime.
But the Pope? Oh, we can greet the Pope with transgendered activists, gay rights activists, and Catholics who disagree with the Pope on Catholic doctrine. That’s really standing up to power and speaking truth!!
President Obama, in fact, is only willing to stand up and speak truth when it costs him nothing. He’s never met a totalitarian he wasn’t willing to kneel in front of.
When he and the phony pope get together they'll probably giggle like little girls.
“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” Rev. 22:12-13
He is throwing America away IMO and seems to be enabling radical Islam all over the world.
Even paid 150 billion to the greatest funder of terror Iran.
I love that verse, it really brightens my day. Thanks for posting it.
O is not a moral coward
if anything he displays courage
courage in undermining Christian and American morality
any and all ways he can possibly think of
Isn't he an uppity little bastard?
pope should avoid obama altogether...
refuse to see him and visit his “flock”...
the pope is a commie activist and like the dung beetle..
but to subject himself to an open deliberate staged insult is embarrassing...
make the dung beetle KISS HIS RING....
he will bow and this gives the crackhead pope a chance to kick him in the butt. love to see it ...
OBAMA IS ESSENTIALLY GIVING THE POPE THE HAWAIIAN ONE FINGER SALUTE AND THE POPE OUGHT TO RETURN THE SALUTE...
The headline is kind of icky, but unfortunately, probably accurate.
If you don’t know what a “fluffer” is, don’t go look it up. (Now some of you are going to look that up, and go, “EWWWW!”)
.... .He’s an activist .... and he does activist things.
From the article: “But Barack Obama would never do this if the Pope was a major trading partner, had a military, or was a totalitarian despot who snuffed out human rights activists.”
Why not? He sent the Churchill bust back to England. He gave the Queen of England an iPod with his speeches. He has no issue insulting foreign dignitaries.
Too complex. Obama is punishing America and Americans citizens for not liking him.
If you have to go there, you've lost the argument.
......the Pope should answer this insult by flying right over Washington to Texas and a meeting with Governor Abbot. Abbot is the elected leader of # 2 highest gdp state in the Union and will show every respect due to a visiting Pope. Trump and Cruz should also be there.
Naturally he won’t do this but it would be a perfect slap in the face to the atheistic communist America haters in the White House if he did.
Erickson’s solution ? Elect El Jebbe.
0bozo is a malignant narcissist! He can do no wrong. In his own mind he is perfect

In a more particular way, this is how he flings it in the face of the liberal Catholics who supported him, all the way back to Bernardin and the CCHD. Just to remind them how pathetic they are and how thoroughly used by him.
Frances should refuse to go to the White House.
I doubt he will, but he should.
He’s a foreign subversive.
