From today's
The Vatican said that Pope Francis’s meeting with Rowan County, Ky., Clerk Kim Davis “should not be considered a form of support of her position.” But if Pope Francis told Ms. Davis “stay strong” and “thank you for your courage,” as he was reported to have done, then he was indeed showing her support.
I can’t help but think of all the people on whom Pope Francis could have put the spotlight — single parents, people battling disease and addiction, teachers, journalists, families of victims of gun violence. So many could have used his momentary approval. Instead, he chose to give more recognition to a woman whose “courageous” battle could be resolved with a new job. No matter who set up the meeting, what a wasted opportunity.
Linda Spollen Haile, Winchester (our emphasis)We've made note of the person who purportedly set up the Davis- Pope Francis meeting (and, if reports out of the Vatican are accurate, set up the Pope). Now it's up to the Vatican to remove this backstabbing bigot from his post as soon as possible to prove the Pope wasn't endorsing "Dim" Davis' bigotry.
