Why did he keep it secret? If he intended to support her, have an audience with photos. This is, at best, a tepid support damned with faint praise.
So the pope like Obama is a bend over boy?
I'm not saying this the case, but maybe he simply wanted to meet with her. (If a pastor meets with one of his parishioners in his office on Wednesday, would you expect him to make that the subject of his sermon on Sunday?)
Since the disclosure of this apparently came from her side, perhaps that was the intent.
Maybe because this was an actual meeting and not a photo op.
When you have an audience with photos then that’s all it is ... a photo-op. There are times when a religious leader may NOT want to come across like a typical @sshole politician.
Amen. The fact that he kept this a secret speaks volumes.
I can’t help suspecting that the Vatican has been taken over by queers, just as the Episcopal/Anglican church has.
