The nomination by President Obama of Dr. Regina Benjamin to the post of Surgeon General of the United States provides a bit of hope to Catholics. In 2006, Dr. Benjamin was awarded the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice Cross by Pope Benedict XVI in recognition of service to the Church and the pontiff. Retired Archbishop Oscar Lipscomb of Mobile exspressed his pleasure at the nomination and described Dr. Benjamin as a person with a great sense of responsibility and one who is authentic in her Catholicism.

I remain cynical but am cautiously optimistic with this nomination.
