New US-Ambassador to the Holy See
United States
US-President Barack Obama has nominated a 45 years old Cuba born theologian, Miguel Diaz, to become the US ambassador to the Holy See. Diaz is a pro-life Democrat who is trained in the theology of Karl Rahner. A potential source of controversy is Diaz' support for Kathleen Sebelius, a staunch pro-abortion politician who was opposed by many Catholics, as nominee for US Health and Human Services Secretary. According to a Time magazine analysis, Obama is trying to woo Hispanic Catholics and thereby pull them away from the influence of the Catholic hierarchy.
