There is no evidence that either is lying since we dont have a transcript, but to speak specifically to your point. the Vatican says they spend time one 3 issues, they never talk about how much time was set aside for each. President Obama simply says they didnt spend much time on it.
Neither side is telling the truth. Half-truths are not truths, and half-truths are what we're getting from both of them.
Zero credibility for each.
As for the Pope, I'd believe most of what the Pope says, but not because his perspective on everything is the Truth, only that he sees it that way.
