Sensitive Issues Arise At Meeting Between Obama And Pope

Touchy subjects came up in the meeting between Pope Francis and President Obama.

The Vatican says the Catholic Church’s objection to a contraception requirement under the Affordable Care Act was raised during President Barack Obama’s visit.

The Vatican says other areas of discussion during Obama’s historic visit included abortion, immigration reform, human trafficking and international issues…

While describing the meetings as “cordial,” it says they reviewed questions relevant for the Catholic Church in the U.S. The statement says that includes “rights to religious freedom, life and conscientious objection,” a reference to mandates for contraception coverage under Obama’s health care law.
