Depends on the panters, not all are the radicals that they get painted.
Would be awkward sure, but if the point was for dialogue then not sure there would be a problem.
We are drifting at this point though, getting into to many hypotheticals.

Nope...Obama is a childish and vindictive person. I'm convinced this was intentional, but it is just my opinion.

Or does Obama just love singling out us 'evil' christians?
Agreed...if this was a meeting to help ease differences, that would be perfectly fine.

So we're going to manufacture outrage and get offended on behalf of somebody who very likely isn't offended himself?
How liberal minded of the right wing.
Doubt very seriously if the pope is even a little sussed about this guest list. And as for the whole "you don't invite people who hate the guest and may cause a problem" angle: so what if they do? I suspect the pope has both a) quite an ability to handle himself in any discussion and b) infinitely more patience than any of the people on the guest list. So who winds up looking like a jackass here? The person who loses their crap and tries to pick a fight, or the guy who sits there and let's them work themselves into a lather?
I'm not referring to the opinion of the Pope on the matter or how he may handle it if need be...I'm talking about it being insulting that our President would intentionally invite these people as a tactic meant to insult the Pope. There was no other reason to invite these people.

What makes you think it isn't?
Seems like the simpler answer then Obama biting his thumb at the Pope.

Like inviting a Planned Parenthood leader to a get-together with a handful of anti-abortionists?
