This meeting was mentioned this morning on Catholic Connection, and Gordon Brown was quoted as saying that he and the Pope will have to "agree to disagree" on embryonic stem-cell research, the type that destroys life and has shown NO results. Nevertheless, they seem to be obsessed with it in Britain.Hard work, solidarity and other ethical values must be part of the world's response to the global economic crisis, said Pope Benedict XVI and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
The pope and prime minister met Feb. 19 at the Vatican and their 35-minute private conversation included the economic crisis and "the duty to pursue initiatives benefiting the less developed countries," a Vatican statement said.
Pope Benedict and Brown also agreed that efforts must be made "to foster cooperation on projects of human promotion, respect for the environment and sustainable development," the statement said.
