Obama Offers New Pick for Vatican Envoy
Wednesday, May 27, 2009 8:25 PM

WASHINGTON -- 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, a Catholic whose support for abortion rights was criticized by conservative Catholics.

The previous ambassador to the Vatican was Mary Ann Glendon, a Harvard University professor. Glendon turned down the University of Notre Dame's top honor, the Laetare Medal, because of the Catholic school's decision to have Obama speak to graduates earlier this month.

Another hispanic? Has Obama nominated anyone but whites or hispanics for anything? How many asians, blacks, other ethnicities has he nominated?

It would be interesting to do some digging around to find out just who, and what organizations, Diaz is linked to that hasn't been made public.

Seems like obama is very carefully inserting his militant and radical connections everywhere these days........why not the Vatican too?

The new head of NASA is an Afro-American from inside the agency. Except for Attorney General Eric Holder, all his other major appointments seem to be not only white or Hispanic, but from the East and West coasts as well (with the exception of those from Chicago and Illinois). And although one does not want to say so, another Hispanic generally means another Roman Catholic , bringing with them the teaching of that international religious organization's open support of amnesty for illegal aliens.

Please call now and oppose nomination of sotomayor!!!!
