“President Obama had a private, 35-minute meeting at the Vatican with Pope Benedict. That’s right, folks, the man considered by many followers to be infallible had a meeting with Pope Benedict.” – Conan O’Brien “I don’t know if you’re following this, but earlier today, in Vatican City, President Obama had a historic meeting with Pope […]
