Pray for Ambassador Flynn

Raymond L. Flynn, former Ambassador to the Vatican during the Clinton administration and former Mayor Boston is battling melanoma and was hospitalized recently after collapsing during a speaking engagement according to his son as reported in the Boston Globe. Read the story here.

Like Doug Kmiec, myself and others, Ambassador Flynn is a Pro Life Catholic Democrat (Kmiec came from the dark side recently.) Ambassador Flynn like many other Pro Life Democrats realizes the folly of putting a single issue above others at the expense of the least of these. Never hiding behind the veneer of the abortion issue, Flynn like many other faithful Catholics has always realized the consistent ethic of life is the key to good public policy and that life goes on after birth.

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Ambassador Flynn this past spring on the Hillary Clinton Campaign. Ambassador Flynn was a tireless campaigner for Hillary and and asset to the campaign, especially the Faith and Values team.

Please take a moment and pray for Ambassador Flynn and his family. I wish them all my best.
