A Hispanic Roman Catholic theologian who advised Barack Obama's presidential campaign is the Obama administration's choice to serve as U.S. ambassador to the Vatican.
The White House announced Wednesday it plans to nominate Miguel H. Diaz, an associate professor of theology at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University in Collegeville, Minn., for the post.
Diaz, 45, a Cuban-American, was a member of the Obama campaign's Catholic advisory board. Diaz was among 26 Catholics who signed a statement supporting the nomination of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius...

So, in other words, he's not Catholic.
I wonder what kind of "theologian" BXVI thinks he is.
I’m surprised he didn’t pick a muslim, for diversity’s sake...

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.
I thought it might be this guy!
Catholic ping!
70 million Catholic Americans - they found 26 who support her.
Interesting. If anonymous sources are to be believed, Obama chose three other candidates for this post, but they were turned down by the Vatican because they were pro-abortion.
None of those candidates were publicly announced, suggesting that someone spoke to the Vatican first before making a formal nomination.
So, has the Vatican quietly agreed to this one, or is Obama taking a different route and going through with a public nomination before the Vatican has a chance to respond?
I guess we’ll see. I really, really hope the Vatican stands fast on this. There is absolutely no reason why Obama needs an abortion lover in this post.
ROTFL!!!!
Why would they appoint a non Christian Catholic to the Vatican?
How can the ever-exalted “dialogue”
about the merits and demerits of baby-killing
occur unless
one of the devil’s very own advocates
is sent as an envoy
to one of God’s very own advocates?
Why am I not surprised.
Am I just oversensitive or does Obummer have a special hatred for the Catholic Church and a burning desire to shame and destroy it?

Notice that no (pro-Muslim) Obama ambassadors were opposed by any Muslim countries ....
Notice that "hispanic" comes before Roman Catholic.
Another "identity politics" nomination. Most of this guys writings focus on being a "hispanic" catholic and he writes extensively about "hispanic" theology (whatever the hell that is).
Here's hoping the Vatican tells Obama to take this nominee and shove it.
Well, after all, he IS The Anti-Christ.
Not if he supported Sebellius.
That seems to be his prime directive.
