Callista Gingrich, just confirmed by the Senate as the US Ambassador to the Holy See in Rome, will present her portfolio to the Pontiff in a brief ceremony at the Vatican. One source, with strong links to His Holiness said today, "The Pope plans to have the Vatican's chief exorcist present for the ceremony. He is reported to have whispered, 'Have you seen her eyes?'"

I would have thought the Pope has some principles that he is supposed to follow as leader of the Roman Catholic Church. What kind of message does this send to the faithful around the globe?
Wouldn't it be great if His Holiness chose to not accept her credentials?! Trump picks all the best people.

(22,052 posts)Ambassador to the Vatican? There can't be too many diplomatic conflicts or issues between the U.S. and the Pope. Further, its lack of importance is demonstrated by the shallow person selected to fill the post.

I just can't help thinking that in the present circumstances where we have been flooded with complaints from women in the arts who have to face a tsunami of insults about their appearance and who have been attacked because of it that we should discontinue posts that take aim at a women's appearance and focus on the issues she represent.
There are plenty of pictures where she appears normal except for the cretin she is sitting next to.
