  1. “Obama, Pope Francis meet for first time”

  2. U.S. President Barack Obama and Pope Francis met for the first time Thursday at Vatican City. The two world leaders greeted each other with a smile and a handshake, and posed for pictures before sitting down across a table from each other. The conversation was an opportunity for a reset of sorts between the Obama administration and Catholic leadership following several years of strained relations. The goal: focus on areas where two of the world's most influential men agree and gently tread ground where they differ. That means the President and the Pontiff will focus on "shared commitment to fighting poverty and growing (income) inequality" and gingerly navigate such thornier topics as same-sex marriage, contraception and abortion.

The military posturing came while the South's leader, Park Gyuen-hye, met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and U.S. President Barack Obama on the sidelines of the Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague.
