Media outlets are still parsing Rick Warren’s forum with the presidential candidates on Saturday. Tom Heneghan at Reuters’ religion blog took a look at some of the international headlines.
“It’s striking how many chose the term ‘confession’ to describe the event,” he writes. Here’s a sample:
U.S. religious forum would not have happened here – The separation of church and state is more notional than real in the U.S. (Montreal Gazette, Canada)
Obama&McCain:Confession in front of puritans (Journal du Dimanche, France)
McCain and Obama confess their sins (Elsevier, Netherlands)
Campaign launched for religious voters ? Obama and McCain “confessed” to the pastor of the nation (DieStandard.at, Austria)
Obama and McCain reveal their dark sides on stage (La Stampa, Italy)
Confession road to the White House (El Peri?dico de Catalunya, Spain)
