Pope Francis: Kim Davis Is A Liar And I Don’t Support Her Bigotry

[UC PiXELVISION 353]

* Tea Party Christians were jubilant when their most recent patron saint, the homophobic county clerk Kim Davis was apparently invited for a secret meeting with Pope Francis during his first official U.S. visit. They saw it as a vindication of her stance on same-s-x marriage and an endorsement of the idiotic stunt she pulled when she was jailed for refusing to do her job and issue judge-ordered marriage licenses. Unfortunately, Davis and Ted Cruz will be severely disappointed, as the Vatican has come out denying her version of the story:

The brief meeting between Mrs. Kim Davis and Pope Francis at the Apostolic Nunciature in Washington, DC has continued to provoke comments and discussion. In order to contribute to an objective understanding of what transpired I am able to clarify the following points: 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. 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. The Pope did not enter into the details of the situation of Mrs. Davis and his meeting with her should not be considered a form of support of her position in all of its particular and complex aspects.

Pope Francis did not tell her to “stay strong” as Davis purports. The Pope did not know who Kim Davis was when the meeting occurred; a writer at Esquire believes it was a stunt organized by the papal nuncio, a supporter of the previous Pope. A senior official at the Vatican reports that there is a sense of regret about the meeting; they did not want to give the impression of endorsing Davis’ homophobia or her attention-seeking, self-imposed “martyrdom”.

The Pope actually met and embraced a gay couple he had previously worked with in Argentina before meeting Davis. While we should remember that the Holy Father isn’t quite the bastion of liberalism that we would like to believe, he is the most progressive pope we’ve had in some eighteen hundred years, and his refusal to be associated with the Kim Davis media circus should be taken as a condemnation of her bigotry.

Nice title that has nothing to do with what the pope actually said.

The truth that he still has a ton of other problematic viewpoints and statements?

When exactly did the pope say "Kim Davis is a liar and I don't support her bigotry"? The article literally states he didn't even comment on it.

Where is that good sis who started a thread rudely asking gay Catholics to explain themselves

To be fair, he didn't put quotation marks around Kim Davis is a liar and I don't support her bigotry

You do notice that he put Pope Francis: before the statement, right? And the use of first person? It's a completely made up statement and the news article is blatantly saying it's something the pope said or believes.

That good sis is probably still waiting for a rational explication as to why any self-respecting gay person would choose to support an institution that advocates against LGBT civil rights, an institution that has spent hundreds of years dehumanizing homos-xuals.

The Pope may be focused on being a beacon of positivity, but like all "progressive" Catholic icons, he still values the traditional family unit above all else. Even liberal radical Dorothy Day spoke out against homos-xuality. The Catholic Church is not a friendly home for us Queers.

As a former alter boy, I call bull**** on the Andrew Sullivan gay Catholic apologist nonsense.
