Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the head of the U.S. Catholic Bishops' conference, just hired conservative activist Kim Daniels as his spokeswoman.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) announced on Monday that it has hired Kim Daniels as spokeswoman for the USCCB president, currently Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York. Daniels, the USCCB announcement explains, is "an attorney whose practice has focused on religious liberty matters," and she "brings to the USCCB her experience as director of Catholic Voices USA, an organization of lay Catholics that works to bring the positive message of the Church across a broad range of issues to the public square."
The bishops left a few things off her résumé, says Grant Gallicho at Commonweal. Notably, the announcement "does not mention two of Daniels's previous employers: Sarah Palin and the Thomas More Law Center," a conservative legal organization at which Daniels fought for the right of pharmacists to refuse to dispense the morning-after pill. She spent nine years, from 2000 to 2009, at the Thomas More Law Center, established in 1998 by its president, Richard Thompson. Thompson and his center increasingly tend to "make news by making provocative comments about Islam."
The more eyebrow-raising job is Daniels' work as a paid adviser to Palin and her political group, SarahPAC. Daniels signed up to work with Palin after doing some legal work for John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, at a time when "the former Alaska governor tried to remodel herself" after McCain's loss, says David Gibson at Religion News Service. Daniels was described as "Palin's personal domestic policy czar," and that association leaves an open question for the bishops about "whether Daniels will deflect controversies or become a lightning rod herself," says Gibson.....

A joke right?
Gov Palin is a member of the Body of Christ.....for you to diminish that because she doesn’t attend a mass is vile.
The fullness of the faith is Jesus Christ......period.
She’s a lapsed Catholic, nothing more.
Gov Palin is more, she is a Born Again Christian.....if you as a Catholic view that is fallen, I am sorry.
I am born again also, at every Mass, when I am in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ during the Holy Eucharist.
You are born only once.
How could you possibly know that? Besides, the Scripture actually says "born from above".
Peace be with you
I truly feel sorry for protestants for not being able to participate in the greatest miracle in the last 2,000 years. I am speaking of Holy Eucharist, when you are truly in the presence of Jesus Christ.

Within us all of is a need that can only be filled by God. Some seek to fill it with power, money, pleasure, and prestige. No amount of any of these can satisfy that need which is the root of addiction. The tenets of Protestantism, in which we can assure ourselves that we are the ultimate authority on the meaning of Scripture appeals to our vanities and gives us a glimpse of the power and prestige that we believe will fill the void. It is only when we approach God with adoration, contrition, humility, and thanksgiving and love what He loves can begin to fill that void. Pray for them.
Peace be with you
