Sad. He could have said this during his address to congress or at a homily during the wall to wall media coverage over the weekend when everybody was watching.

Because he wanted to be the Catholic Mr. Rogers and not look like he thought anything should be criticized.

He’s earned being upon a distrust list. Rock ribbed Roman Catholic would be an improvement over this mush.

No hate...just lack of legitimacy. How can any religious figure proselytize for an established religion while simultaneously pimping the false religion of global warming? I can prove scientifically that global warming is a false religion...why then should I believe in the Pope's teachings on Jesus Christ when I know he is also pimping a provable false religion?

Take that to Fox news and sit on it!

Yes, but Obama thinks he outranks both the Pope and the Lord Jesus, and in Zero’s view, Christian religious freedom must submit both to homosexuality and to Islam. Hmmm, go figure...

Pope has the right to shut his sump on topics such as US Law.

Frackin’ foreign freaks need to be taught to shut the **** up and mind their own damned business.

Why do we give credence to an America-hating foreigner about who has rights under our legal system and who doesn’t? What standing does he have?

Actually, "we" don't - but the America hating Left does.
