Will the Catholic Church Meet Obama Halfway?

The catholic church is the church of absolute truths, and an infallible pope. HuH
They'd outlaw birth control devices. How many realize that birth control devices were illegal until the 1920s. Why - because the church wants a bigger army to corrupt. Just as old Adolf himself told his people to have more babies for the Wehrmacht.
Someone else hit the nail on the head re the church child sex scandal. It was just a variant of what happens in prisons, where sex starved prisoners (or priests and Bishops) establish their dominance by raping the weaker of the available victims. And then they hide their crimes for decades, and didn't at least bounce the perpetrators out the door, but instead moved them around, facilitating their crimes.
Moral Values, Truth, Love. So sadly lacking. And they dare tell others what to do?
Maybe they shouldn't have been sued for billions. Instead the govt should have built a big wall topped with barbed wire around their churches. So their criminals could just practice their trade on each other. And not get out into the real world. It is called Jail.
Given they were consenting adults, that is fine in private.

How about Homo Jenkins falling all over himself in the presence of Obama. Those who don't think that Gays have taken over the Catholic church did not see the speech on Sunday.

President Obama said, "That abortion was a complex issue". Its only complex when one hides in the shadows. Light has no fellowship with darkness. Imagine Jesus and the Devil trying to work out a compromise on the Word of God. Abortion is real simple! It's the violent killing of human life which we try to water down by calling it a choice. President Obama hides behind the word "rare" because it's just a nice word and then hedoes everything in his power to promote abortion. If something is good why would you want to make it rare? How can there be common ground when its life vs killing, good vs evil, light vs darkness and deeds vs words. By their fruits you shall know them. Spiritual awakening isn't talking the talk, but walking the walk.

If I understand Catholic doctrine the Pope is always infallible and Obama is just the elected leader of the United States.....Cordially ,

Obama is an evil man that supports the murder of unborn innocents. Catholics that support him supprt that self same murder. THERE CAN BE NO COMMON GROUND on this issue!

I hope that right wing American Catholics will finally realize that being pro-life does no necessarily mean being Republican and certainly not an excuse for self-righteoussness.

Common ground was found Sunday at Notre dame. We now know that Fr. Jenkins has found common ground with the mainstram media in their worhipping of and little girl crushes for, the President. We also found common ground with the homosexuals and Jenkins and the abortion factories with Jenkins. How dare they say we can't find common ground....Jenkins did!!

Since when has the Vatican compromised on something? It's their way or the hi-way. So I hope the U.S. keeps cruising down the hi-way.

We are living in trying times and I think the nation can do and
should do with less violence. Abortion is a form of violence on
another human being and until we as people can become more moral
we won't one day be able to stand face to face in the presence
of Christ.

Can you imagine the North and South trying to find common ground over the issue of slavery? Let's see....The South would say we will try to make slavery more rare as long as you don't make it illegal. If you have seen the pictures of the infanticide, which the left calls partial birth abortion, how in the world can you find common ground on that. You might not like the pictures but they demonstrate just how barbaric the abortion industry is. Either these babies deserve a chance at life or they get dismembered and poisoned,without painkillers, at the hands of the Obama nation. Please someone show me where the common ground can possibly be on this.
