then, no, it was just a chance encounter (for which she was flown from Kentucky). Or, no, he was exploited by her supporters.

Don't get your sources mixed up—it's 3-card monte posing as journalism. CNN is trying to pass off this poofter Grassi, a private (homosexual) individual, as a Vatican source. Looks like CNN also used him earlier as an anonymous source "close to the Pope" (Eew).

The Pope is what he is, for sure. But he has shown no indication of being inconstant in his teaching against sodomy or abortion.

Here’s how I see this:

Being Pope is both a spiritual and political situation. Ostensibly spiritual, but there’s no way to prevent the political from entering the equation. Especially since those who surround the Pope ARE political animals first and foremost.

The Pope met with Davis as a spiritual endeavor, to give comfort and bless someone who is suffering persecution for her faith.

But now it’s switched to politics as the various interests start maneuvering to get it to fit their particular agenda. And in doing so really highlights the dichotomy involved.

The best position I think for Conservatives to take is that the Popes meeting with Davis may not have been an endorsement, but it most certainly was a sign of the abject hatred she’s being subjected to for her faith. With the hatred subsequently directed at the Pope for daring to meet with her a validation of the hatred held by those who oppose her.
