Refuse him an audience.

Publicly and specifically state the reasons why.

Is it any wonder millions of American Catholics were good with voting for Obama?

I usually don’t respond to Catholic bashing but: Really? The Pope of the Roman Catholic Church lies to us all the time?

I assume you are devout Catholic who pays rapt attention to matters concerning the faith. Thus, you will be cognizant of this (too)subtle move on the part of the Pope, and its implications.

Yes, the MSM may have reported the transmission of the Church document to Obama, but the vast majority of AMericans including most Catholics will not understand the implicaions of that.

They will see the smiling Pope, accompanyied by the (official?) words of approval from the Vatican.

Lombardi said the pope was "very impressed" by Obama and that the pontiff was "extremely satisfied" with the talks.

"Very impressed" = "The pope will have to try very hard to forget his meeting with Obama."

"Extremely satisfied" = "The pope had his fill of Obama."

Obama told him. “Don’t worry Pope, all of those young expectant mothers will be getting pre-natal care under my ObamaCare health plan. Fewer children will be born alive, and this to allow us to offer more government services to the older folks, reduce the world’s carbon pollution by US residents, and free up resources for the rest of the world. Problem solved.”

A powerful message to YOU, because you are devout and paying attention.

I am referring to the millions of cafeteria Catholics who need a strong and obvious message as to what their Faith means.

Im my opinion, giving him a faith based document is much too subtle, even if it is reported in the media.

I wouldn’t take that too far, for certain individuals condemned a certain carpenter from a backwater town for hanging out with prostitutes 2,000 years ago.

I sincerely hope that you are right, and I am wrong.

Too, we must assume that the Holy Father is proceeding with divine guidance, however misguided I personally, think the outward appearances of this approach may be.

Yup, the way to reduce a certain behavior is to provide more tax-payer provided money to fund it. Makes perfect sense.

Did Obama also tell Pope Benedict he wanted to kill old people, and the handicapped?

I’m sure in some diseased corner of his marxist brain, Obama really does think that his policies will reduce abortions...

Obama tells pope he wants to reduce abortions in U.S.

Of COURSE he does!!!! (wink, wink)

IIRC, he ran on the notion that a "woman shouldn't be punished with a baby for making a mistake!"

I didn't fall asleep and make that up, did I???

Obama supports abortion rights and says his policy is to change economic and social conditions so as to put more women in situations where they do not feel they have to have an abortion.

Sounds like "Welfare Queens" are getting a raise.
