VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The Vatican newspaper said U.S. President Barack Obama sought common ground on the divisive issue of abortion in his commencement address at the University of Notre Dame.

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.

L’Osservatore is sort of like the New York Times of the Vatican, and has a number of hard core liberals running it and muddying the waters.
