Huckabee: Gay-rights advocates meeting the Pope is an ‘insult’

This Pope, he said, “doesn’t fit the political and ideological categories of Washington“. She joined the social office about two years ago and immediately impressed Mrs. Obama with “her passion, creativity, public-mindedness and relentless competence”, the first lady said when she and the president announced Dyer’s appointment. Indonesia, as everybody knows, is the world’s third-largest democracy, and there are many critical issues that we share enormous concerns about.

“In my view he’s not really living up to some of those kinds of Catholic principles”, said Tim Schmaltz, who signed the letter to the governor criticizing the budget.

Wednesday, Obama hosts a greeting ceremony for Francis on the White House’s South Lawn before almost 15,000 guests.

In 1961, John F. Kennedy became the first Roman Catholic president, and the only one to date. Still have questions? Here’s what you can and can’t do during Francis’ visit to D.C. The pope can’t “change his mind” about gay marriage like most Democrats.

“I just hope that what we hear are things that are less close to specific policies before us than the higher aspirational goals for the world“, said Sen.

He’s traveling with his wife to Washington for the White House event and then will be in attendance as Francis addresses a joint session of Congress on Thursday. “Every other issue is relativized”, said Michael Sean Winters, a commentator for the National Catholic Register. “He’s not of the right and he’s not of the left”.

What’s the point of Obama’s political indecorum, inviting opponents of Catholic teaching and raising the ire of the Vatican on the eve of the Pope’s visit?

– Pope Francis will begin his pastoral visit to the United States with his arrival at Andrews Air Force Base in the afternoon.

“He is positively inclined towards the United States and those who live there, while disagreeing with the savage capitalism which some in the country engage in”, said the Rev. Juan Carlos Scannone, a professor emeritus of philosophy at Colegio Maximo, a Jesuit college near Buenos Aires, Argentina, who taught the pope as a young man.

Your words of love, compassion and acceptance inspired me to explore my faith in a way I had never done before.

Francis is popular in the United States.

Widodo’s visit aims to further strengthen the US-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership, established in 2010, that has fostered momentum and regular high-level engagements between the two countries.

But climate talks in the run-up to Paris have been marred by problems.

“I think the pope has spoken about the need for all of us to meet our responsibility to care for God’s creation. Being a Christian entails promoting the dignity of our brothers and sisters, fighting for it, living for it. That is why Christians are constantly called to set aside their own wishes and desires, their pursuit of power, and to look instead to those who are most vulnerable”.

I doubt the mainstream media will push Obama very much on this because they are completely sympathetic to all the people on the invite list.
