A senior Vatican official on Saturday attacked US President Barack Obama for … “the arrogance of someone who believes they are right, in signing a decree which will open the door to abortion and thus to the destruction of human life,”
Catholics never went to war then? If that isn’t destruction of life then what is?

“What is important is to know how to listen… without locking oneself into ideological visions with the arrogance of a person who, having the power, thinks they can decide on life and death,” he added.
What? This is a Catholic telling someone else that they should know how to listen? Do they seriously not see the massive hypocrisy? Doesn’t the pope decide on life and not death already with his views on contraception? So no-one is allowed a dissenting view?

“The majority of the American population does not take the same position as the president and his team,”
And they did with Bush? And every Catholic hangs on every word uttered by the pope? And what survey did they commission for this statistic of theirs? Obama was elected by many more people than the pope ever was or will be. He has the right to wield that power just as the pope and his corrupt cronies do as they wish.

It is garbage like this that makes me despise the Vatican and leaves me wondering how anyone at all can listen to anything that comes from there. Sexually abuse children for years and you are forgiven all your sins. Pass a law which will help countless women and you get called arrogant?
