Vatican City, 27 March 2014 (VIS) –
This morning Barack H. Obama, president of the United States of
America, was received in audience by Pope Francis, after which he met
with Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin and Archbishop
Dominique Mamberti, secretary for Relations with States.
During the cordial meeting, views were
exchanged on some current international themes and hope was expressed
that, in areas of conflict, there would be respect for humanitarian
and international law and a negotiated solution between the parties
involved.
In the context of bilateral relations
and cooperation between Church and State, the Parties discussed
questions of particular relevance for the Church, such as the
exercise of the rights to religious freedom, life and conscientious
objection, as well as the issue of immigration reform. Finally, the
Parties stated their common commitment to the eradication of human
trafficking throughout the world.
