Dr. Miguel Diaz, a professor of theology at St. John’s University in Collegeville, was confirmed by the Senate on Tuesday to become ambassador to the Vatican.

Miguel Diaz, a Collegeville, Minn., professor, has been nominated by President Obama to serve as ambassador to the Vatican. Diaz, a theology professor at St. John’s University and the College of St. Benedict, supported Obama’s presidential campaign and that fact, say anti-abortion activists, means he cannot be pro-life.
