Word on the streets in Rome has it that three potential U.S. Ambassadors to the Vatican have been rejected by Pope Benedict. There wasn't a formal submission or rejection of names, but the names that were mentioned were dismissed based on their stance on life issues. Now, I'm not a government guru, however I think it wouldn't be too difficult to find one person in Washington that sides with the Church in relations to life issues. Seriously. Heck, they can send me! These small and repetitive actions by Obama and his cohorts goes back to what I have said to a few of my friends. Barak Obama is an educated man who knows the basic teachings of the Catholic Church. He understands that he does not side with the Church and he recognizes that Catholics don't agree with his views on life issues, but he looks the Church right in the eyes and spits in her face. He says, "Well yes, I recognize that this is very important to you, but I am going to do whatever I want, Church." And Obama is doing the same thing in this case. He isn't meeting the simple requirement. He hears what the Vatican says, but ignores it and tries to push his own agenda. How hard is this to follow? "The Holy See has always set a very simple standard: the person should not be in opposition to fundamental teachings of the Church that belong to our common shared humanity. He or she may not believe in Catholic dogma if he or she is not a Catholic, but we could not accept someone who is in favor of abortion, or (human) cloning or same-sex unions equated to marriage."
