The sexual left wants someone’s head, now that it’s compelled the Vatican to backtrack on support for Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis.
Liberals are now campaigning for Pope Francis to fire Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, who serves in the influential post of Papal Nuncio to the United States, one of the Church’s most important diplomatic postings.
Vigano is credited with setting up the now controversial meeting between the Pope and Kentucky Council clerk Kim Davis that was immediately denounced by advocates for gay marriage.
One of the groups calling for his head includes the George Soros-funded “Faithful America” that is running an online petition for his firing.
“After days of speculation, the truth has finally come out: Pope Francis did not hold a private meeting to express his support for Kim Davis’s efforts to block gay marriage licenses,” the petition begins.
Faithful America is a leftist pressure group formed to attack and punish those who oppose gay marriage and, according to their website, oppose fracking. They say the are “…sick of sitting by quietly while Jesus’ message of good news is hijacked by the religious right to serve a hateful political agenda.”
On their website is a picture of former Bishops Gene Robinson, who was the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church and who is now the first divorced gay bishop of the Episcopal Church.

Isn’t it wonderful how Frances has turned the Catholic Church into a low-rent version of Tammany Hall?
Meanwhile why the Pope and Vatican try to decide if they are Christian or not, Franklin Graham does what a true Christian does
A MESSAGE FROM FRANKLIN GRAHAM
Dear Friend
Because of your support and
involvement with Samaritan’s Purse, I want you to know about a special
announcement I made earlier today.
In 2016 I am launching the Decision America
Tour, a project of The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. I will be going to
the capitals of all 50 states to proclaim the Gospel, rally prayer for our
country, and encourage Christians to vote for candidates with biblical values.
Together, we can mobilize the Church to not only get up and vote, but also to
encourage Christians to run for political office at the local, state, and
federal levels as well.
Our country is in trouble. And to be honest, I
don’t see any political solution. The only hope for this country is in Almighty
God and His Son Jesus Christ.
Join me in praying for our country. It’s time to
stand up and have our voice heard.
For more information, visit
DecisionAmericaTour.com. There, you can sign up to receive email alerts from me
personally throughout the tour.
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord”
(Psalm 33:12, NKJV).
Thank you for your prayerful support. May God bless
you.
Franklin Graham
President and CEO of Samaritan’s
Purse

This was part of an email I received today,
P.S. The path this country is choosing today is one of sin and destruction, but I still have hope for America. Remember God’s promise to King Solomon: “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14, NKJV). Franklin Graham
Wow! That’s great! Thanks for sharing! Finally, some encouraging news.

if they DIDN’T hold the meeting what is the problem?

He should be promoted if possible- just to infuriate the hateful left
The story is behind the times.
The Pope came out pretty strongly against extinctionist marriage.
Best comment yet.
Before Congress... “...I cannot hide my concern for the family, which is threatened, perhaps as never before, from within and without. Fundamental relationships are being called into question, as is the very basis of marriage and the family. I can only reiterate the importance and, above all, the richness and the beauty of family life.” Pope
Daily mail on popes visit. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3247609/Francis-takes-Congress-task-immigration-abortion-gay-marriage-Syrian-refugee-crisis-insists-Golden-Rule-approach-politics-Capitol-Hill-address-sitting-pontiff.html
Pope on his flight home.
“...On the flight back to Rome, he was asked if he supported individuals, including government officials, who refuse to abide by some laws, such as issuing marriage licenses to gays.
“Conscientious objection must enter into every juridical structure because it is a right,” Francis said. …
“I can’t have in mind all cases that can exist about conscientious objection but, yes, I can say that conscientious objection is a right that is a part of every human right,” he said, speaking in Italian.
“And if someone does not allow others to be a conscientious objector, he denies a right,” he added.
Francis said conscientious objection had to be respected in legal structures. “Otherwise we would end up in a situation where we select what is a right, saying: ‘This right has merit, this one does not.’”
The Pope met with the Little Sisters of the Poor.
“Pope Francis met with the Little Sisters of the Poor — nuns who have been in a long battle over a contraception mandate part of Obamacare — at their home across the street from Catholic University after he celebrated Mass on Wednesday. The pope’s visit to the Little Sisters was a sign of support for them in their legal battle, Rev. Federico Lombardi, a Vatican spokesman, told reporters.
The Little Sisters of the Poor, which operates homes for the elderly in cities across the country, has been in a battle with the Obama administration over the law’s requirement that they allow their insurers to offer free contraception coverage to employees. The Becket Fund senior counsel Mark Rienzi, lead attorney for the Little Sisters, who spoke with one of the nuns after the meeting, said the pope was at their home for about 15 minutes and shook hands and spoke with each one of them in their chapel.”
Did they not get the memo that the Vatican is now saying that the meeting was not an endorsement?
Official Vatican Reinterpretation #17c,A2.
Excellent
I read 800,000...400+400
yes it sounds like a lot I grant you
But he or any pope has not told people they must support only pro life pro family politicians or be excommunicated.
He/They have never said that voting for a whole host of anti Christian principals will separate them from the Love of God
He wont stand up and be counted and say how he feels about Kim Davis, he is a dishonest man
I am not sure if the Pope/Vatican are concerned about the unborn child or about the removal of God Christ from classroom/public square, nor am I convinced they care if children are taught that homosexuality is a option for them.
I dont believe any of them lose sleep over any of that.
It may be that they do not want to tell the Church in North America this because they fear the Church would lose more than half of their members, they might at that.
But shows were their heart must be, in the collection plate?
