Roman Catholics are talking about whom President Obama will choose as his ambassador to the Vatican. While the Notre Dame controversy got the president some bad press, Obama remains very popular among Catholics, with 70 percent voicing approval, according to a Gallup poll out today.

Whom do you think Obama should pick as his ambassador to the Holy See? These are some names that have been floated by interested parties so far, but feel free to add your own in comments.

There is nothing more immoral or insane than diplomatic relations between a democracy and a religion.

The Ambassador represents the people of the United States not the American Catholic Church. Of course, the elected President should pick who he wants. Haven't you ever heard of separation of Church and State - relations with the political entity of the Vatican is not just a matter of concern to Catholics.

In other words, Dr. Levy, you want the next ambassador to be a total Obama stooge, rather than sticking to any Catholic beliefs. Nice.
