These are not Vatican appointees: these are U.S. appointees, ambassadors TO the Vatican. Five appointed by Republicans, one (Ray Flynn) apointed by Democrat Clinton.

Obviously not "pro-Romney" sop much as "Anti-Obama". This is getting interesting.

Glendon is the one who refused to attend the Notre Dame graduation in 2009 --- not even to pick up her Laetare Medal --- because she would not appear on the same dias as Obama.

Glendon is the Learned Hand Professor of Law at Harvard University, and faculty advisor for Harvard Stedents for Life.

One classy lady.

I was wondering who was missing (the ambassador during Clinton’s second term). Turns out it is Lindy Boggs, the widow of Hale Boggs and mother of Cokie Roberts. She is 96—I don’t know what kind of condition she is in but presumably too much a part of the Democratic establishment to support the Catholic Church over the Democratic Party.

I could care less if Joseph Smith’s ghost is whispering in Mitt’s ear. I want Obama out out out....The rest falls into place after this

[ConservativeDude]

I always sort of liked Ray Flynn’s chutzpah, even when he was very much a Democrat.

I like him more now!

If I could believe anything Mitt says, I’d be happily voting for him. I like what he’s been saying quite a bit. I just don’t trust the guy.

I am glad these people are coming out for him. One thing is certain, he couldn’t possibly be worse than Obama when it comes to the right to life.

If he lives up to his word, I’ll vote for him the second time around, when he has proven he means what he says.

I just can’t vote for a big-government statist dingbat, until he proves to me that he’s a changed man.

If only we had nominated a good person this time.

Thank you for the ping, Mrs. D, but yeesh...

Governor Romney has stood firm in defending this sacred institution. In the White House, just as he did in the Massachusetts State House, he will defend the institution of marriage before the Congress, the courts, and the country.

Willard was ultimately responsible for same-sex "marriages" taking place in MA. He created these "marriages" through an unconstitutional and illegal directive to his Department of Public Health, and threatened to fire any Town Clerk or Justice of the Peace who failed to implement the "new law".

Where the current administration has shown its sympathy for the pro-abortion lobby, Mitt Romney will be a faithful defender of life in all its seasons.

RomneyCare mandated $50 abortions, and he favored legalized abortion during his runs for the Massachusetts Senate and governorship. He has an opinion that changes with the seasons.

he has pledged himself to removing those federal mandates immediately.

No, Willard has pledged to remove AND REPLACE those mandates. Replace them with what? Follow the template from RomneyCare.

These, my fellow Catholics, have forgotten Exodus 20:16 - Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

[Tennessee Nana]

I stood arm in arm with the precious Catholics at a Pro-Life rally outside Madison Square Garden 20 years ago the week Clinton was nominated...

I do hope these people have really thought this through...

I dont believe Willard will be much better than Obama on abortion and gay issues...

His actual track record stinks..

In WWII Patton attacked the NAZIS in an impossible timespan and saved our 101st Airbourne troops.

After we beat the NAZIS - Then Patton said we should take on the Russkies as we would likely have to fight them later.

First win the battle - Then the win war.....

Patton did not sit on his ass and let out troops die and possibly also lose WWII and show the Commies we were weak and stupid.

Giving away America to Obama and the Commies now in 2012 is insane.

[Cicero]

Mary Ann Glendon is a good, conservative Catholic, whose support for the right to life is questionable. I see why she and the others are saying this—because Obama is so totally horrible.

Regretably, however, Mitt Romney has a pro-abortion record, too. I simply cannot vote for him. He is a gay marriage pioneer, and was also a pioneer in socialized, tax-payer funded abortion as a “health” issue.

I understand that these guys are desperate to do something about Obama’s hateful attacks on everything the Catholic Church stands for. But I CANNOT vote for Romney, another baby killer.

That’s how we got here—50 or 60 years of criminal Democrats, and complicit establishment Republicans, who failed to roll back any of their evil schemes.

[Rome2000]

These useless morons are where in calling for excommunication of baby killers like Pelosi?

But apparently, they are all in support of the mormon cult leader Bishop from KOLOB, who was like 55 years old when all of a sudden he decided that baby killing was wrong, especially if he was going to get drooling imbeciles to vote for him for POTUS on a GOP ticket.

I wouldn't piss on this degenerate scumbag if he was on fire.

Let's hope this silver spoon idiots ride to KOLOB is a smooth one, and he achieves GOD status with minimum cost to the American taxpayer.

BTW, I forgot to thank you for this article. It’s great to fire up the Catholic conservative vote - and to bring new Catholic voters to our side via this issue.

Number One mission in this election is to boot out this regime and it’s statism and secularism, it’s attack on culture and religion.

This needs to be done in landslide proportions. As Rush said today: “ on November 6th, Obama’s gonna get Chick-fil-A’d.”

The Holy Father, USCCB are strong on this issue and their role, these ambassadors are stepping up, and individual catholics have their job to do as well.
