Speculation abounds concerning the views of Miguel Diaz on right to life issues. What we do know is that Diaz was a passionate Obama supporter during the campaign, supported partial-birth abortion enthusiast Kathleen Sebelius' nomination as HHS Secretary, and sits on the executive board of the Catholic Theological Association of America. That's three strikes against his pro-life convictions and Catholic orthodoxy right there. Diaz is fortunate that we are not talking baseball here.
It is a poorly-kept secret that the Vatican has been adamant that whatever U.S. ambassador it deals with must be in agreement with the Church on fundamental moral teachings, and there are unconfirmed reports that previous Obama nominees have been rejected by the Vatican for failing to meet that criteria. Obama strikes me as the type who would sooner force the issue than respect the Vatican's wishes on this matter.
I hope to be proven wrong about this. But given the circumstances, I will be approaching this one with more than a touch of skepticism. I pray the Vatican will stick with its guns and properly vet this nominee. God bless!
In Jesus and Mary,
Gerald
UPDATE: It turns out that Diaz is an advocate of liberation theology and, not coincidentally, part of the speakers' bureau for the apostate leftist front group "Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good." This, of course, is the sister group to the equally apostate "Catholics United" and is a group that has been directly funded by George Soros; and sure enough, Catholics United just posted an endorsement of Diaz on its blog, and expressed hope that Diaz would work with the Vatican on "many of the pressing moral concerns of our day," followed by a list of said moral concerns that of course fails to include abortion. You can officially count me as an opponent of this nomination. Cue the Obama operatives saying I'm not Hispanic enough...
