Jesuit Editor In Chief On Legionaire Publisher And President Obama

When we Catholic journalists prepared to meet with the president last Thursday morning, NCR publisher Joe Feuerhard reported that his son had told him to ask the president, “How is it to be the coolest guy in the world?”

I can’t say we saw that well-known cool Thursday morning, except perhaps in his interchange with Fr. Owen Kearns, L.C.

but Barack Obama appeared, as he so often does, to be utterly comfortable in his own skin.

Fr. Owen Kearns, L.C. is a member of the Catholic religious order of priests, the Legionaries of Christ. He is the publisher of the major American Catholic newspaper called The National Catholic Register.

David Gibson at Pontifications could not contain his "Legion Bashing", read his thoughtless comments (here) on the Catholic meeting with the President.
