The Un-Common Ground Between Obama and the Pope~What You Won't Hear from the Mainstream Media

The O'Reilly Factor, July 10, 2009
Talking Points Memo & Top Story
President Obama meets Pope Benedict XVI

"Three days before the president's meeting with Pope Benedict, the Vatican issued a 'teaching document' encompassing everything from the financial markets to abortion. Back home, it took Catholic Democrats no time to twist its meaning in an effort to bolster Mr. Obama's radical proposals such as cap-and-trade and health care reform. Here's what they're not telling you: Although the Pope supports protecting the environment, he specifically warns against viewing nature as more important than the human person. And although the Pope encourages wealthy nations to help poor nations, he warns that foreign aid should not in any way be used to diminish populations through abortion or contraception. The Vatican is unequivocally opposed to the destruction of embryos for medical research, a position directly at odds with President Obama. So no matter how much spin you are going to hear about how the president and the Pope found common ground, remember this: The Pontiff's central message is that meaningful social progress is only possible if we first embrace moral truths and protect human life at all stages. But for a president with such a notorious anti-life agenda, that could be above his pay grade."
