Obama: A Slap In the Face Of The Pope?

[seer]

Or the Catholic faith in general? Doesn't Obama have any sense of decorum?

Gays, Transgenders, 'Nun on the Bus' Invited to White House Pope Francis Reception

Guests at the White House reception for Pope Francis on September 23 will include several gay and transgender persons, a controversial nun, a radical preacher and a gay Episcopal bishop.

Several of the invitations to the event, which is part of the pope's three-city tour of America September 22-27, were offered by Vivian Taylor. Taylor, 30, considers himself transgender, which means he identifies as a sex different from his biology. Taylor has male anatomy but dresses and presents himself as female. Until March of this year he was the Executive Director of Integrity USA, a homosexual and transgender activist wing of the Episcopal Church. Taylor lives in Boston and is now freelance writing.

Given the fact that the pope willingly embraced a transgender "man" recently....

What does this have to do with Obama? Other than it being a Whitehouse function

Oh, no. There will be undesirables in the crowd meeting the Pope! What on earth would Jesus say?

Somehow, I think Pope Francis will take this in good stride.

It means Obama needs a new protocol officer. It's crass to invite people who are likely to find each other objectionable to the same social event.

[tabibito]

What? No invitation to Richard Dawkins? Why not a couple of pro-choice activists as well? just to round things out.

Must have been an oversight.

The Obama Administration seems to have a habit of going out of their way to insult those that they don't like as evidenced by how they immediately took steps to downgrade relations between us and Britain^[1][2].

The Pope represents the Catholic Church which many liberals despise for their opposition to both abortion and gay marriage. It is no surprise that, considering their previous history, will rub the pope's nose in it.













1. Apologists for Obama have sought to explain his evident disdain for Britain by citing his father's overt hatred toward them, but its not like Obama actually knew his father and could have picked it up from him as he grew up (his parents separated almost immediately after his birth and his father visited him only once about 10 years later)

2. After first denying the bowing until too many photographs came out the White House explained that Obama only bowed because he was considerably taller than the leaders that he was meeting, but Elizabeth was the shortest of all of them.

So if the doctor was wrong and the baby certainly was viable in that it actually survived an attempt to kill it, then the doctor shouldn't be "burden[ed]" with trying to keep the baby alive since it had the gall to "not just coming out limp and dead."

Isn't this pope dude pretty liberal about that issue?

[Jaecp]

Yes, yes he is.

[KingsGambit]

I wish Francis would explain exactly what he thinks on the issue without him making a vague statement and without having his handlers say he didn't really mean what he appeared to have said or that it was mistranslated.

Or the media doing it

[rogue06]

Yes, yes he is.

At least relatively speaking.

[Jaecp]

At least relatively speaking.

Sure,

I can't imagine the guy caring even half as much as pundits say he should or will
