http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/nov/26/obamas-call-close-holy-see-embassy-slap-face-catho/ It’s a “massive downgrade of U.S.-Vatican ties,” said former U.S. Ambassador James Nicholson in the National Catholic Reporter. “It’s turning this embassy into a stepchild of the embassy to Italy. The Holy See is a pivot point for international affairs and a major listening post for the United States, and … [it’s] an insult to American Catholics and to the Vatican.” Mr. Nicholson — whose views were echoed by former envoys Francis Rooney, Mary Ann Glendon, Raymond Flynn and Thomas Melady — also called the justification for closing the existing facility a “smokescreen,” Breitbart reported. “That’s like saying people get killed on highways because they drive cars on them,” he said in the report. “We’re not a pauper nation … if we want to secure an embassy, we certainly can.”

Give Pope Francis' recent statement, if accurately reported, I'm all for a good hard slap to Vatican's face.

Obama continues to upset countries, governments and regimes all over the world. Unless, of course, it happens to be an Islamic country, then he is more selective.

[Vigilanteman]

BO hates Roman Catholics. Just as he hates Protestants, Mormons, Jews and anyone else which stands in his way.

[rdcbn]

Actually, it’s more of slap in the face to Roman Catholicism in general

[Alberta's Child]

After watching that dope Timothy Dolan fall all over himself to invite Barack Obama to the Al Smith Dinner in the weeks before the 2012 election, I can't say I'm either surprised or disappointed in anything this administration does.

When it comes to their voting habits, most American Catholics act like abused wives. They elect @ssholes to office and then wonder why nobody takes them seriously.

What the hell is wrong with this jerk?

Oh Is the the Republicans fault due to the sequester?

[RitaOK]

Not sure which statement of Pope Francis you refer?

I AM sure, however, there is a sucker born every day who ever relies on the elite and msm media for interpretating any utterance of the Pope fairly or accurately without stark bias and a glaring Leftist agenda.

New Advent (.com) works better for accurate
Vatican news for those interested in avoiding the secular Left agenda of misdirection.

[fatima]

I really don’t know what to say.

[RitaOK]

Nice.

Could you repeat that, and often? :)

BUT HE’S NOT A MUSLIM!!

[Baynative]

I will if you will. (Nothing that flops from my keyboard is copyrighted)

[Morgana]

Ohh I feel the hate!

I don’t care because he is the one who will stand before God for this.

[Morgana]

Well, let’s think about this:

*He’s not particularly white
*He’s not particularly black
*He’s not particularly honest
*He’s not particularly smart
*He’s not particularly Christian
*He’s not particularly American

Yea and you know what? I wonder if David Icke is correct and he’s not human but a Lizzard man!!

[Salvation]

I can’t believe you said that.

[Salvation]

Actually it is showing Obama’s ignorance of Scripture.

“The gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (And that includes Obama.) Stay tuned.

[fatima]

Well I was blocked from coming back.Sent an Iphone message but it’s not showing.Kept trying and made it on another search engine.What is going on.This is International news.

[fatima]

What’s a Lizzard Man?

[RitaOK]

How come your succinct remark was taken down?

Did I miss something?

The informed know perfectly well that ALL your descriptors were said, or implied exactly by Obama, of Obama. I don’t get wth is going on anymore.
