UPDATE: The Vatican is "denying" the story. Kind of. Read their denial. It's something that, as a lawyer myself, I'd have written if I were guiltily parsing my words:
A Vatican spokesman dismissed reports that the Holy See has rejected several candidates for U.S. ambassador to the Vatican because of their support for legal abortion."Reached the Vatican." Uh huh. Sure, they embrace Nazi-sympathizers and enable pedophiles, but why should anyone suspect them of lying?
"No proposals about the new ambassador of the United States to the Holy See have reached the Vatican, and therefore it is not true that they have been rejected. The rumors circulating about this topic are not reliable," the spokesman, Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi...
UPDATE: Someone is suggesting that Obama just appoint Demjanjuk. Gets him out of the country and satisfies the Vatican's taste in men.
The Vatican has reportedly vetoed three of Obama's proposed ambassadors, including Caroline Kennedy, because they're pro-choice. Which is funny, since the Vatican isn't nearly as discerning about welcoming Holocaust-deniers into its ranks. Speaking of which, when does the Pope plan on doing something about the Nazi-sympathizer he's now embracing, even though he knew the man is a Holocaust denier? The Pope told him to recant or else. No recant. And nothing from the Vatican, as if we'll all just forget that the German-born Pope, who was a member of the Hitler Youth, welcomed a Holocaust-denialist into the Vatican. Fat chance.
