The Pope, Obama, and the oppressive left

As Cuban dissidents arrested, Pope Francis enjoys 'friendly and informal conversation' with Fidel Castro


. . . "Obama should be grateful to the pontiff, who helped the President achieve a very rare foreign policy “success”. If he is, the Obama sure has a strange way of showing it.

In a stunning show of political indecorum, Obama has invited a series of individuals who publicly flout Catholic teaching, including a pro-abortion religious sister, a transgender woman and the first openly gay Episcopal bishop, along with at least two Catholic gay activists.
"Truly, this is the sort of SmartPowerTM move we have come to expect from the White House." . . .


As Cuban dissidents arrested, Pope Francis enjoys 'friendly and informal conversation' with Fidel Castro
. . . "Meeting under the gaze of Che Guevara,* a bloodthirsty man who enjoyed executing his political opponents – personally machine gunning them for sport – is abominable.  But I suppose the pope had no choice in the venue if he was committed to seeing Castro.  The photo of the meeting is certainly will do nothing to harm Castro’s image with believing Catholic Cubans:"

* Guevara can't be all bad; his picture hung in some Obama election offices in 2008.
