Or so you claim.
My claim comes from what is said in the article.
The pope was not expected to focus on issues where he disagrees with President Obama, such as abortion and marriage.---Ambassador Ken Hackett, the president’s envoy to the VaticanFrom the last sentence it seems he is more concerned with pushing a leftist position about the farce of global warming.“I appreciate the unfailing commitment of the Church in America to the cause of life and that of the family, which is the primary reason for my present visit”--Pope
"The innocent victim of abortion, children who die of hunger or from bombings, immigrants who drown in the search for a better tomorrow, the elderly or the sick who are considered a burden, the victims of terrorism, wars, violence and drug trafficking, the environment devastated by man’s predatory relationship with nature..."--Pope's actual statement from article.
He and Obama agree on many leftist ideals.
Pope Francis Focuses on Death Penalty, Downplays Abortion in Speech to Congress
Ambassador: Pope Won’t Talk Abortion With Obama
If abortion was his primary reason for coming to the USA you'd think he would talk to Obama about it. After all, Obama would not fight against late term (9 months included) abortion.
He's all for it.
In fact Obama, speaking of his daughters, said that "if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby."
Did you read the replies to the thread? Part of what I posted from the article in this reply was already posted to the thread back on September 23.
