Statement on White House Ceremony with Pope Benedict XVI
Today I attended a ceremony at the White House honoring Pope Benedict XVI. It was a blessing to be a part of the momentous occasion of Pope Benedict's visit to the White House. Like his predecessor, the Holy Father has struck a chord with the American people by serving as a humble servant of God, who is full of timeless wisdom. Pope Benedict reminded us how, during our earthly journey, we are compelled to promote the liberty and dignity of our fellow human beings. His message of renewal and hope touches people of all faiths and has a heartening effect for all humanity throughout our turbulent times. The Holy Father eloquently expressed the moral duty of public officials to serve the least of our brothers and sisters through a humane dialogue Founded upon faith and reason, the first principles upon which our free republic was founded. People of all faiths should pray for the Holy Father; embrace his message of renewal and hope; and wish him a happy birthday.
