Pope welcomes new US ambassador, prods on right to life issues

Welcoming the new U.S. ambassador to the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI outlined wide areas of potential cooperation with the administration of President Barack Obama, but drew a sharp line on the issues of abortion and the rights of conscience.

The pope called for "a clear discernment with regard to issues touching the protection of human dignity and respect for the inalienable right to life from the moment of conception to natural death, as well as the protection of the right to conscientious objection on the part of health care workers, and indeed all citizens."

Pope Tells New Obama Vatican Ambassador to Uphold Pro-Life Position on Abortion

Pope Benedict XVI has a message for the pro-Obama political activist who the president appointed to become his new Vatican ambassador: uphold the pro-life position on abortion. Some pro-life Catholics have been concerned that Miguel Diaz won't faithfully uphold the pro-life teachings of the Catholic Church.

Benedict has written a letter to Diaz, a former professor of theology at the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, and St. John's University in Collegeville, both in Minnesota.
