The other shoe is starting to drop…Kim Davis didn’t get a private meeting with the Pope and was a pawn in some internal Vatican ratfucking game? (I’m thinking Raymond Burke or some other conservative American Cardinals are behind it). How long is Carlo Maria Vigano (the Vatican Nuncio in Washington) going to remain in that position, before being reassigned to manage some Catholic charity in Liberia?

All of these self-righteous “Christians” who cloak their hypocrisy and bigotry behind religion really piss me off. They want to quote a couple obscure Old Testament verses about marriage, yet skip the entire set of verses about the Ten Commandments (or use them when politically expedient).

I was going to say “Fuck You Kim Davis,” but then that would mean that hate has won. Kim, before you die, may you learn to love at the level of those you discriminate against.

Pope Francis’ Meeting Wasn’t an Endorsement of Kim Davis’s Views, Vatican Says (NYT)

“Pope Francis met with several dozen persons who had been invited by the Nunciature to greet him as he prepared to leave Washington for New York City,” Father Lombardi said in the statement, referring to the Vatican’s term for its embassy.

He added: “Such brief greetings occur on all papal visits and are due to the pope’s characteristic kindness and availability. The only real audience granted by the pope at the Nunciature was with one of his former students and his family.”

Vatican Source: Pope Blindsided By Meeting With Controversial Kentucky Clerk (CBS Chicago)

A highly placed source inside the Vatican claims the Pope was blindsided.

As Pope Francis was addressing a joint session of Congress, then thousands more gathered outside on the west lawn, Kim Davis, who’d become the poster child for opponents of same-sex marriage, was getting ready for a meeting with him at the Vatican embassy.

It is a meeting some charge was orchestrated by the man who lived there, the Pope’s representative here, Carlo Maria Vigano.

Not even the Papal Spokesman Federico Lombardi knew about it ahead of time. Nor did the leadership of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which would have opposed it.

Others claim the Pope knew about the meeting and had ordered Vatican diplomats, perhaps even Vigano, to set it up.

CBS 2’s Vatican source doesn’t think so.
