Obama reportedly wanted to reward Caroline Kennedy by making her the US Ambassador to the Vatican. It seems, however, that the Vatican has let it be known that they would prefer someone in the post who is not an advocate of abortion.
"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."
How come the Obama team can't figure this out? Where's that super sensitivity to other cultures, faiths etc. etc. etc. ?
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.
