WASHINGTON – As Pope Francis arrives in the United States, three former US ambassadors to the Vatican, all Republicans who served under President George W. Bush, have endorsed Jeb Bush in the 2016 race for the White House.
The three are:
* James Nicholson, a former chair of the Republican National Committee during the 2000 elections, who went on to serve as secretary for Veterans Affairs after his posting in Rome;
* Francis Rooney, an Oklahoma businessman and major Republican donor;
* Harvard law professor Mary Ann Glendon, who has held several Vatican positions and currently serves on the board of the Vatican bank.
