Pope meets new US envoy

[lemonbeam]

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI says the Catholic church in the U.S. will continue to try to shape consciences on issues such as abortion and euthanasia.

The pope told Washington’s new ambassador to the Vatican on Friday that he is confident both sides will keep cooperating in promoting human dignity and rights.

President Barack Obama chose Hispanic theology Professor Miguel H. Diaz as his envoy to the Holy See. Diaz, a Catholic, presented his credentials to Benedict and praised him for emphasizing “moral imperatives.”

Benedict says the church backs the right of U.S. health care workers to be conscientious objectors on right-to-life issues. U.S. bishops are among leaders of anti-abortion initiatives there.

The Associated Press shows once again that they are an agent for the Obama information services.

Look at the title the AP gave this. Where in the article is this supported in even the slightest? The envoy praised the Holy Father! I regret in a way that this forum makes the poster stick to the title of the article. This title is clearly ludicrous.

Shall I change the Title?

Shall I change the Title?

Forum rules do not permit it. One must use the title of the article, so you did right. It is AP that picked a ridiculous title.

I for one am glad you posted this thread. Every time I start to get the idea that the “Mainstream Media” is more of a catch phrase for conservatives, something like this comes along to remind me why I stick to Fox News.

I don’t see the Pope praising anyone. I see the Holy Father telling Dr. Diaz of his hopes for ongoing progress and reiterating the Church’s position on life issues.

Did miss something?

Fraternally,
