    Vatican Blocks Caroline Kennedy Ambassador Appnt: She's Pro-Choice

    Vatican blocks Caroline Kennedy appointment as US ambassador - Telegraph

    Vatican sources told Il Giornale that their support for abortion disqualified Ms Kennedy and other Roman Catholics President Barack Obama had been seeking to appoint.
    Mr Obama was reportedly seeking to reward John F Kennedy's daughter, who publicly gave her support to his election bid. She had been poised to replace Hillary Clinton as New York senator, but dropped out amid criticism that she lacked enough experience for the job.
    The Italian paper said that the Vatican strongly disapproved of Mr Obama's support for abortion and stem cell research. The impasse over the ambassadorial appointment threatens to cloud his meeting with the Pope during a G8 summit in Itay in July.
    Ms Kennedy, 53, has said that she supports abortion. Raymond Flynn, a former US ambassador to the Vatican, said earlier this week that Ms Kennedy would be a poor choice.
    "It's imperative, it's essential that the person who represents us to the Holy See be a person who has pro-life values. I hope the President doesn't make that mistake," he told the Boston Herald. "She said she was pro-choice. I don't assume she's going to change that, which is problematic."
    The White House refused to comment.

    Seems to be a common theme.

    Did you see Barry's space cadet running NASA? Damn fine campaigner, though.

    Caroline Kennedy seems very ignorant about many issues. Does her name have anything to do with being an ambassador to the useless Vatican nation-state.

    And BTW, a Catholic CANNOT support abortion in any form because of Vatican edicts.

    Not only dumb, but a hypocrite. She's a fraud.

    "A foolish man in fancy clothes" has to be the best quote I've read on this forum. This Pope is a menace to the World.

    I think it is time that the whole Kennedy clan was broke off of sucking the free tit just because of the mafia family tradition and connections.
    J F Kennedy was OK as a president for as far as that went but Robert was another phoney Lawyer and they got him before he could get in the money sauna with the other wash. big wigs and Teddy baby has milked the country for way to fucking long and he will reap a fortune in payoffs and pensions before he dies, the worthless piece of shit.

    The ambassador should be the loudest most outspoken feminist nazi pro abortionist that can be found. If they evict her from the fluffican then the USA has a reason to nuke it till it glows.

    Caroline Kennedy as most here have pointed out is not the brightest but there have been many unqualified Ambassadors appointed as political favors throughout history. Ambassador to the Vatican is not really what I would call a "critical" position requiring much qualification.

    I think Obama will have to find a Roman Catholic Republican for this job.

    But....

    Someone is fibbing!

    "VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican is denying that it has rejected several candidates for U.S. ambassador to the Holy See because of their support for abortion rights.

    Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said Friday that he checked the reports in the American and Italian media and there is no truth to them.
    He also told the U.S. Catholic News Service that no names of proposed ambassadors had reached the Vatican from Washington.

    The reports underline possible tensions between the Vatican and the government of President Barack Obama because of its support for abortion rights and stem cell research, a reversal the policies of the George W. Bush administration."

    The Associated Press: Vatican denies it vetoed US choice for ambassador
    "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect,"
