To L'Osservatore Romano, Obama came off as amiable, rather than arrogant. And that's another ironic proof that Notre Dame assisted President Obama in falsehood: saying one thing and doing another.

At Notre Dame, Obama endorsed "sensible conscience clauses"--- yet he's ordered the HHS to stop enforcement of the conscience clauses already passed by Congress (the Church Amendments, Coats Amendment, and the Hyde/Weldon Amendment) over the past 35 years. Some conscience!

Obama said we must respect others' convictions: yet he will compel pro-life citizens to become accomplices to abortion, by requiring us to finance, through taxes, the very thing we find morally intolerable. Some respect!

Obama cooed that opponents of embryonic stem cell research may be upholding the sacredness of life, "but so are the parents of a child with juvenile diabetes who are convinced that their son's or daughter's hardships can be relieved."

He didn't mention that it is adult stem cells which have produced insulin-producing islet cells in humans, while embryonic stem cells have had no such success. Some omission!

So Obama endorses dialogue in the world's most visible Catholic venues, broadcasting his amiable beams and nods without back-and-forth, without rebuttal, and without exposure to countervailing facts.

Some dialogue.
