By the Pope’s men, not the Pope himself. And I guarantee you that if it did happen Obummer didn’t run up to the Pope and ask him to bless it. There is also no mention of a rosary being given by the Pope to the nassisist-in-chief in the official lists of exchanged gifts, which consisted of two medalians from the Pope and a copy of his apostolic exhortation, “The Joy of the Gospel”. This is much ado about nothing.
yes that was my point, did you read my original post? it IS much ado about anything. it is standard practice with papal audiences and was nothing special to Obama and the Pope had no inkling that Obama would pass it on to Pelosi. I despise the guy as much as anyone here, but i can’t even fault him for giving the rosary to Pelosi. He knows she’s catholic and figured it would mean more to her so he gave it to her.
