re: #45 HappyWarrior

I’m sorry. I just don’t believe this at all. I can buy the Pope sympathizing with her but after the Cruz and Huckabee business, it’s obvious she would have wanted something public. The Pope is a popular man.

Well the last paragraph of this story (me being a cynic and all) just might explain why this story was leaked.

In this sense, the Pope on September 24 clearly “wrapped his protective mantle” around Kim Davis, discreetly, in private, in a way completely hidden from the world, but in a way that was deeply moving for her personally, as a person of conscience.

Me thinks that by claiming (secret) Papal approval of her actions, she and her attorneys are hoping she will be shielded from going back to jail on contempt charges. But that’s just the cynic in me talking.
