Yet, he is arguing for the same type of “positive rights” that Obama believes our Constitution is flawed for not including.

He's "arguing for" the Gospel.

From POPULORUM PROGRESSIO - Pope Paul VI:

"The Church, which has long experience in human affairs and has no desire to be involved in the political activities of any nation, "seeks but one goal: to carry forward the work of Christ under the lead of the befriending Spirit. And Christ entered this world to give witness to the truth; to save, not to judge; to serve, not to be served."

------------

"The Scale of Values - What are less than human conditions? The material poverty of those who lack the bare necessities of life, and the moral poverty of those who are crushed under the weight of their own self-love; oppressive political structures resulting from the abuse of ownership or the improper exercise of power, from the exploitation of the worker or unjust transactions."
