More Doug Kmiec and Vatican Envoy Buzz

Father Z has the link as well as comments on a Catholic News Agency report that touches on Obama latest moves and the whole Doug Kmiec Envoy to the Vatican controversy.

See CNA: Prof. Kmiec thinks he’s on the short list for the Vatican

I am not sure how good their sources are but I should point out this is the second time they have indicated that the Vatican sees a Kmiec Evoy slot as a very non starter.

I don' think that it will happen. Kmiec bizarre recent article in Commonweal where he just lashed likely sent alarm bells through the State Department, the Obama Folks, and Vatican. In the end this man will have a very important position and one must ask if that post election screed was very "Envoy" like.

There are of course many other choices that Obama could make. For instance what is former Louisiana Senator John Breaux doing. Would he leave his lobbying firm to serve his country again? Heck interview Governor Blanco.
