While the USCCB seems more interested in the plight of Christians at Hobby Lobby than the plight of Christians in the Holy Land (with the exception of Bishop Pates), Yleem Poblete, writing at American Thinker, makes the case for Obama to appoint, at long last, a new ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom. Ms. Poblete is a new fellow at the Institute for Policy Research & Catholic Studies where I serve as a visiting fellow. She was formerly Chief of Staff at the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
