Vatican newspaper trumpets Obama’s “common ground” message on abortion.
The Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano said Obama’s speech at the leading Catholic university on Sunday confirmed what he had said at a recent news conference — that signing the so-called Freedom of Choice Act in the U.S. Congress wasn’t his highest legislative priority. The bill would protect a woman’s right to have a child or end a pregnancy…
The article didn’t mention the protest by dozens of U.S. Catholic bishops who denounced Notre Dame for honoring Obama because his abortion rights record clashes with fundamental church teaching.
Instead, it simply quoted Obama as inviting all Americans to work together to reduce the number of abortions and unwanted pregnancies, and concluded he was searching for common ground on the “delicate question of abortion.”…
In addition, L’Osservatore Romano gave Obama a positive review after his first 100 days in office, saying in a front-page editorial that even on ethical questions Obama hadn’t confirmed the “radical” new direction he had discussed during the campaign.

This is the second pro-Obama editorial in recent weeks from L'OR, and there have been several non-Obama, non-U.S. related articles of dubious content. It almost seems as if there has been some sort of coup at the paper. The Holy Father and Fr. Lombardi need to step in here and take some serious steps to ensure that the paper does no more injustice to the Church.
The coup started awhile ago when they announced their hirng of Atheist and Muslim writers. The Vatican has since distanced itself from the paper...but it's never been the Vatican's newspaper although they get the credit for it.
