I hope the See refuses this perverts credentials.

Is he going to deliver an autographed copy of “Da Vinci Code” as a gift from Hussein?

Don’t know if I’ve ever noticed the term “Holy See” before. Had to look it up. I only knew of the Vatican. Learn something every day.

Oh, I thought this said his vacation ambassador. Doesn’t he need a vacation czar, too?

Diaz was a member of the Obama campaign's Catholic advisory board. He was among 26 Catholics who signed a statement supporting the nomination of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, a Catholic whose support for abortion rights was criticized by conservative Catholics.

First, with respect to the Catholic Church and my Catrholic friends, THe United States should never have sent an ambassador to the Vatican, because it is primarily a RELIGION, not an actual “state,” though it is interpreted as such for any number of reasons by the UN and other internationalist bodies. Yes, Reagan erred on this point — one of his FEW.

Second, Diaz is NOT a “good” Catholic if he could suppot Kathleen Sebilius for HHS Secretary. THe Vatican SHOULD reject Diaz — but they won’t. Unfortunately, the Church as an institution still would rather “keep up appearances” than to confront those erring from the Faith. Consider Notre Dame, for instance.

To my Catholic friends who STILL stand for something, they often find themselves OUTSIDE the traditional framework of the Church, having to work around “the way things are” to try and return them to how they should be.

I hope somebody has a camera rolling when the Obama minion gets a drop of holy water on him and bursts into flames.

He looks like a lousy, left-wing, multi-culti, racist appointment. But so far the only pro-abortion signs that have turned up are his support of Sebelius and Obama, and his recommendation by groups that support abortion.

Well, we’ll see. I suppose the Vatican decided that it was somewhat pointless to turn down a fourth Obama candidate for the ambassadorship. If he’s a loser, they will just ignore him. He’s not about to convert Pope Benedict to the abortion camp or the liberation theology camp. If he is what I think he is, it just means that US-Vatican relations will be on a back burner for the next few years, which would have been the case in any event with Obama in the White House.

Word on the Roman street is that one of the Ambassador’s top aides has moved to Rome - if not into the actual Ambassador’s Residence - with his . . . “partner.”

Luckily for Obama, the US Press has long-since stopped doing any research that could possibly tarnish the Idol’s gold-plating.

But the conservative new media, at least, should be checking these things out.

Not that the Obama Administration would EVER want to snub, embarrass or annoy the Holy See!
