Oh. You're right BD! I really missed that part of it…or for some reason it didn't really register!?!

Like you said the Vatican is in CYA mode it appears.

Thanks for keeping Me on track my friend 😉 !

The article said the vatican ambassador invited her to meet the pope along with several other people. But that's where they slipped up. She should have never been invited at all. That's like the leader of the KKK getting invited to a dinner at the White House to meet Obama. They should never be on the guest list because it just starts up controversy. I can't wait to see how this blows up and the vatican tries to wiggle out of it.

I really don't believe the Pope initiated the meeting, BD. It was a brazen attempt by Davis and her lawyer to try and give credibility to her sorry-azz case when everybody knows she has NO case. None.

She a right-wing nutjob. That's all there is to it.

But I do agree with you my friend. The Pope should have stayed out of it.

Hey thanks for sharing this Truth. Sounds like a whole lot of back peddling going on to me. By siding with Kim Davis the pope was basically challenging the supreme court and our laws. That could become a international incident and spark a big fight. It also makes it seem like all his big talk about being accepting of gays was a lie. He should have stayed out of it and she should have never been invited to meet him at all. Now they're just trying to save face and I'm not buying it.

The Vatican has decided set the record straight.

As per the Vatcian: "Pope did NOT give unconditional support to clerk in gay marriage row."

NOR did the Pope initiate the meeting with Davis.

Raw Story:
Looking to limit controversy after last week’s meeting in Washington between the pope and Kim Davis, Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said she was one of “several dozen” people who had been invited by the Vatican ambassador to see Francis.

“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,” Lombardi said in a statement.

The meeting with Davis, which was originally kept secret, disappointed many liberal Catholics but delighted conservatives, who saw it as a sign that the pope was clearly condemning a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court to legalize same-sex marriage.

A senior Vatican official, who declined to be named, said there was a “sense of regret” within the Holy See over the encounter, which sparked widespread debate in the United States, overshadowing almost all other aspects of the pope’s visit.

He added that Davis had been in a line of people the pope had met at the Vatican embassy in Washington before he left for New York.

“The only real audience granted by the Pope at the Nunciature (Vatican embassy) was with one of his former students and his family,” the statement said. [….]
