L'AQUILA, Italy — President Obama sat down with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican Friday for what was described as a frank discussion about issues on which they agree — and disagree.

Obama arrived promptly for the 45-minute afternoon session and was greeted warmly by the Holy Father, despite their opposite views on some issues such as abortion and stem cell research.

"Thank you so much. It's a great honor," Obama said upon shaking the pope's hand. After their private meeting, Obama introduced the pope to his wife, Michelle, and top staff members.
