If Hitler sought common ground on the Jewish issue...”I mean, we all want to see less Jews killed right? I’m sure we can respect each other and debate Jew killing in a civil manner.”

Third misleading post of this nonsense in 24 hours.
I tend not to trust things with apostrophes in the first two syllables.
The Catholic hierarchy and much of the flock has just caved. Dead babies just don’t get the attention of this religion like it used to. Obama gets a medal the unborn get ignored.
Common ground? That’s a bunch of BS. How can there be “common ground” with murder?
Shaking head.
Are you one of those suckers who believes everything they read in a newspaper?
The idea always is to "find the areas we agree on and concentrate on those" as if pro-lifers would be willing to concede the abortion battle if they could be "led" to engage around other issues instead. Sadly, some have.
It is possible the Vatican is sufficiently ill-advised by screwed up American prelates that they do not know they are endorsing a fraudulent gambit.
It’s a newspaper, not Pope Benedict XVI.
Besides, according to Obama’s ACTUAL stated words, the article is accurate.
Don’t over react. Pope Benedict is a classic pope in that he will try to accomplish things quietly. Only liberals assume he will do fireworks kind of stuff in the glaring light of public scrutiny. Nope. He will work quietly.
As far as I can see, this is not in response to the Notre Dame appearance.
Also, I think the effort, misguided as it is, is to encourage Obama to go softly and not push more abortion laws.
Finally, Osservatore Romano regretably does not always speak for the Pope, or even for the Church.
I agree that they couldn’t have picked a worse time to come out with this.
What a joke. Common ground on killing babies. Common ground on letting more illegals flood in for the liberal American Catholic Church’s pals in La Raza and ACORN?
Benedict is a major disappointment and Notre Dame is a disgrace. If you think i hate the Church - I do not not. I defended the church when it was too lazy and inept to remove homosexual pedophle infiltrators who almost destroyed the church and they was their intent.
Archbishop Burke Slams Obama's Appearance at Notre Dame
Address of His Holiness Benedict XVI to Catholic University Educators, April 17, 2008
to quote Rush’s phrase, all he did was practice the “low art of political seduction”.
And he’s very good at it.
Common Ground? Really? The Vatican said this?
Hilda, I am just as sick about this as you are. We can say when we meet our Lord, that we have always stood up for innocent human life. Although I am a Lutheran, the conservative branch, I look to the Catholic Church to always uphold the pro-life stance when other churches have fallen into the hands of Satan and approve of abortion. I hope The Pope and all at The Vatican will reconsider what they have said about Obama.
A Psalm to help us:
Psalm 1:1-3 “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, but his delight is in the law of The Lord, and in His law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, and whatever he doeth shall prosper.”
Another for good measure:
Psalm 15:1-2 “Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in Thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.”
Peace
Has the entire Church lost its mind? The Second Vatican Council called abortion an “abominable crime”. Is it or isn’t it? How do we find common ground with someone who is the most outspoken public advocate of an “abominable crime”? Does Rome really believe some accomodation can be found with Obowma? If so, it will be solely on his terms.
Our Leadership is derilict. The Pope, the RNC, the Republicans AND Democrats in the Senate and House. They are ALL Derilict and they should be fired.
Petty parochial concerns, parochial whining is what we’ve got here!
The newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, said the president also confirmed that pushing for a more liberal abortion law would not be a priority of his administration. The comments came in a L'Osservatore report May 18, the day after Obama spoke at the university in Indiana.
I doubt that CNS would get this wrong. Ping to read later.
