Obama Picks "Pro-Life" Catholic Sellout Douglas Kmiec for Malta Ambassador

Hm. We've just had a cardinal closing the Pauline Year come over. And everyone is busy being entranced by Renzo Piano redesigning the entrance to Valletta.... so I haven't heard much about this man.Horrible that he's going to be here... living not far from me actually. Unfortunately everything here is changing... I just hope it won't be too terrible. Anyway, I don't think the American Ambassador has much say in anything. Just seems a shame that whatever influence he does have will be so sinfully abused, if the man does plan to push a pro-abortion agenda. Please keep Malta in your prayers.

What's changing?

Malta is slowly becoming more secular. Although Catholicism is still a major part of the social fabric, and being Maltese implies that a person is Catholic, or has been raised Catholic: but people calling for things to "change" have been galvanised by recent distrust with the current government here (a staunchly Catholic one) and outside influence through the media and EU membership.

That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that.
