Vatican Spews More Hate

A senior Vatican official attacked President Barack Obama for "arrogance" for overturning a ban on state funding for family-planning groups that carry out or facilitate abortions overseas.
It is "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," said Archbishop Rino Fisichella.

"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.

Sounds to me like that last paragraph is referring to Bush, not Obama. And speaking of Bush, the Pope didn't have any problem embracing him-- despite his may sins (unjustified war, torture of humans, disregard for the poor and needy). As long as Bush was pro-life and anti-gay, he passed the Pope's ethics test.
