L'Osservatore Romano gave Obama a positive review after his first 100 days in office, saying in a front-page editorial that even on ethical questions Obama hadn't confirmed the "radical" new direction he had discussed during the campaign.
“common ground” on something that is an abomination in the eyes of God?
I think not.
So embryonic stem cell research and funding for foreign abortions are positive first steps? Got it!
WTF does this even mean? Is the Vatican condemning 0bama's abortion stance or is it not?
Somebody at L’Osservatore Romano is seriously delusional about Obama, but then the same could be said about many American voters! People are so blind — they just believe any nice sounding words they hear and don’t look behind it at the actual record and policies of the person saying them. I am depressed about how many foolish people there are in this world, and even in my own family.
What the heck is going on? Now the Vatican is in the tank. I am disgusted.
Common ground will ONLY be found in actions. To date, Obama has DONE NOTHING to reach common ground with pro-lifers. He talks a good game, but when it comes down to it, he is through his actions the most pro-abortion politicians in the U.S. government.
Christians, rightly, do not believe that Mohammed is God’s prophet yet have little problem accepting Hegel as some sort of post-Christ prophet.
Abortion is murder, there is no “synthesis”.
Right, "rare." Put up or shut up, Barry. How about legislation that would freeze the total number of abortions allowed at 1/2 of last year's rate. Then, cut it in half the following year, and half again the next year. In a few years, they would be rare.
“Obama seeks “common ground” on abortion”
What a relief. /s
Seeking “common ground” doesn’t affect the outcome for the (murdered) pre-born.
Please. Obama’s monstrous. A bald faced liar...words fail. Why in the world the Vaticam wants to have a dialogue with this baby killer is beyond comprehension.
WTF? So then I guess he doesn't care how rare it will be. Now the Vatican is getting sucked into this idiot's word games. Good LORD!!!
I’ll truly be off to SSPX if this is representative. I don’t think it is indicative of the Pope’s thinking, however, other than in a diplomatic way.
How many Catholics would be left if all who supported abortion were excommunicated as called for in the Catechism?
There is no common ground when it comes to taking a life, born or unborn. A life’s a life. What a sorry excuse for a president. I’m praying some big scandal is uncovered that takes him down.
Hey, if he can figure out some sort of abortion that doesn’t end up with a dead baby....I’ll talk common ground with him.
“Common ground” means that those opposed to abortion compromise their principles. It NEVER means that the killing stops. The leftist killers are perfectly willing to meet you half-way. They are willing, for the moment, to accept the killing of the thousands in place of the killing of the millions.
that’s sorta like trying to seek common ground with muslims...”we want you all to die.”
how do you come up with middle ground on murder?
I wonder what Obama’s “common ground” position is on abortions that don’t quite work out, wherein the child is actually delivered alive. While in the Illinois legislature, his position was not to grant Constitutional rights to such “accidents,” arguing that, since the mother wanted an abortion, by golly, she would be allowed to get one.
I guess his new, enlightened position would be a compromise—inside of having a nurse carry the “fetus” (???) 100 feet to the nearest incinerator, he’ll settle for 50 feet away, placed on a shelf in the linen closet until death occurs naturally.
I fear the incense is getting to their brains.
