John O’Malley, S.J., a Georgetown University theology professor, wrote in America that President Barack Obama is a “Vatican II president.”  Despite the fact that Obama is not Catholic and reaffirmed his pro-abortion position during his commencement address at the University of Notre Dame, Father O’Malley is impressed that Obama “called for civility, for the end of name-calling, and for a willingness to work together to deal with our common problems, including abortion, rather than a stand-off determination to impose one’s principles without reckoning what the cost to the common good might be.”  Father O’Malley continues: “I often hear laments that the spirit of Vatican II is dead in the Church.  Is it not ironic that not a bishop but the President of the United States should today be the most effective spokesperson for that spirit?”  Source: America Magazine
