Catholic ties of new ‘Women’s Ambassador’ come under scrutiny

Why is anyone surprised?
As soon as I hear 'National Catholic Reporter' or 'Catholics in Alliance for the common good', I know she's a dissenter.
And do you really think Obama would ever appoint a faithful Catholic?  The only Catholics he speaks with are dissenters.

A new report shows that Melanne Verveer, President Obama’s nominee to the new position of Ambassador-at-Large for Women’s Issues, has ties to groups such as Catholics in Alliance and the National Catholic Reporter. Though an “ardent supporter of abortion,” Verveer also worked for the predecessor to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.  Based on the serious lack of Bishops speaking out for true Catholic teaching, I'd say their vetting was seriously lacking.

Jack Smith, editor of the Catholic Key newspaper for the Archdiocese of Kansas-City-St. Joseph, on Tuesday reported several of Verveer’s connections.

She has worked as Chief of Staff to then-First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, for various pro-abortion “rights” politicians.

In 2002, Verveer was appointed to the board of the National Catholic Reporter, a newspaper which frequently dissents from Catholic doctrine.

In 2004 Mike McCurry, then-spokesman for the John Kerry presidential campaign, said Verveer helped the pro-abortion “rights” Democrat craft his Catholic image.

Verveer was also reportedly an original board member of the group Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (an Obama group of dissenters funded by George Soros)  and is presently on the group’s Advisory Council.
