From the article:
“Pope Francis presented President Obama with a copy of his apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium (”The Joy of the Gospel”), which criticizes some public figures who attempt to marginalize the pro-life message by presenting it as “ideological, obscurantist, and conservative.”...
The president said he may look at it. “You know, I actually will probably read this when I’m in the Oval Office,” Obama responded, “when I am deeply frustrated, and I am sure it will give me strength and will calm me down.””
Seriously? He says he MAY look at it? He thinks that if he MAY look at it it will give him strength and calm him down?
Such arrogance! People blinded by the god of this world (Satan) betray themselves with their words. The Lord isn’t here to to serve or strengthen us so that we can proceed with our own agenda. We are here to glorify God and to obey his commands, out of thankfulness for his divine Salvation through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.
For his part, Pope Francis presented the president with two bronze medals. One, called the “Medallion With an Angel — Solidarity and Peace,” depicts an angel, mystical in appearance, embracing and bringing together the Northern and Southern Hemispheres of the Earth, while overcoming the opposition of a dragon.“The figure of the angel illustrates contemporary challenges: bringing the world’s northern and southern regions together and harmonizing them, while combating all disruptive forces, such as exploitation, intransigent opposition, new forms of colonialism, indifference, mistrust and prejudice,” the Vatican explained in an accompanying note.
