Pope Francis raised questions about aspects of President Barack Obama’s health-care law as the two met for the first time during an official visit to the Vatican by the US President.

A statement issued by the Vatican Press Office said that the Pope and the President discussed “questions of particular relevance for the Church in that country, such as the exercise of the rights to religious freedom, life and conscientious objection, as well as the issue of immigration reform.”

The Obama administration is currently involved in legal battles with a number of companies and non-profit groups, as well as the Little Sisters of the Poor, who have conscientious objections to providing their employees with health insurance coverage for contraceptives and abortifacients, as they are currently required to do by the administration’s so-called ‘HHS Mandate’.

Obama said that “His Holiness and the Vatican have been clear about their position on a range of issues, some of them I differ with, most I heartily agree with.”

The Vatican’s statement also said that Obama and Francis discussed immigration reform, human trafficking, and international conflicts.
