This Pope is changing the church for the better

Here's is what Pope Francis would LIKE to talk to Obama about if the Vatican had actual political control of the US, which they would be delighted to have:
1) Outlaw birth control–the better to grow and control the laity, as well as greatly increase the total sum of their ti-thes.
2) Outlaw abortion–the better to grow and control the laity, as well as greatly increase the total sum of their ti-thes.
3) Pass a law granting general amnesty for Catholic priests tainted by the se-x abuse scandal, and censor all further discussion about it.
That would be for starters. The new pope is great at seeming like a nice guy, he's really good at PR and photo ops, but underneath it all, it's still the same old RCC, and I don't think they've changed one bit down inside.
This is one of those things like; who cares what these 2 can or will talk about? Oh well, I guess that Idolaters-romanists-papists do care, maybe even hom-ose-xuals do care, maybe even pedophiles do care.
Oh yeah, I forgot Democrats do care, hell maybe even re-publicans may care, Argentinians may care. Me... I can't care less!!
As with other presidents, it is nothing more than keeping Catholics voting for him. If BO were not a politician who will probably run for Senator (the Chicago Catholic vote ) as soon as his lame-duck term is over, he would expose religion for the con that it is. That is what you would call the "next great leap for humankind".
There will not be a politician *ever* in our lifetime that will do that. That's the "Reality" of the politics in this country.
We put men on the Moon so great leaps are possible.
I find it curious that you single out BO out of all the other people in the US...what person in the running for 2016 do you think may be brave enough to take that "leap?"
After all, that person will most likely meet the Pope, too.
Rand Paul?
Chris Christie?
Ted Cruz?
Joe Biden?
Hillary Clinton??
One hopes they all make that great leap.
Reality 2, are you SURE we put men on the moon? I used to think so too at one time but I'm not convinced anymore.
I believe with a strong enough telescope, you can still see the US flag on the lunar surface along with some of the other lunar landings leftovers. Might also want to check out the archives of the Astronomy Picture of the Day for added proofs of the US taxpayers journeys into Space.
Oh yeah 3 things they would probably talk about especially since they are BO's favorite religious subjects gay marriage, marihuana and gay marriage. No wait that's twice on gay marriage.
No hatred there at all. None.
There you go again really!!
Um...what?
I am not an expert on what goes between dignitaries but I always thought that when the POTUS meets with the Pope, the question of the if the RCC would reform would come up.
"...the question of the "if the RCC would reform" would come up."
One would think that the subject would have been broached by every POTUS that has met the Popes since Eisenhower...
