During the campaign Barack Obama told Pastor Rick Warren that he wasn’t sure at what point a baby gets human rights.
He said it was above above his paygrade:
But on only his third day in office Obama signed legislation to fund abortions around the world.
The Vatican blasted “arrogant” Obama for signing legislation to fund international abortions this week.
The Times of India reported:
ROME: A senior Vatican official on Saturday attacked US 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,” Archbishop Rino Fisichella was quoted as saying by the Corriere della Sera daily.
Fisichella is president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, one of a number of so-called pontifical academies which are formed by or under the direction of the Holy See.
“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.
Obama signed the executive order cancelling the eight-year-old restrictions on Friday, the third full day of his presidency.
“If this is one of the first acts of President Obama, with all due respect, it seems to me that the path towards disappointment will have been very short,” Fisichella said.
“I do not believe that those who voted for him took into consideration ethical themes, which were astutely left aside during the election debate. The majority of the American population does not take the same position as the president and his team,” he added.
That didn’t take long. It only took Obama 3 days to pi$$ off the Catholic Church.
Maybe Catholic voters will remember this in 4 years- but probably not.
