LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Kim Davis’ attorney is disputing the Vatican’s description and interpretation of her Sept. 24 meeting with Pope Francis.
Attorney Mat Staver told The Associated Press early Friday that the meeting was an affirmation of the Kentucky county clerk’s right to be conscientious objector.
He says Vatican personnel initiated contact with Davis’ camp on Sept. 14 saying the pope wanted to meet her.

The Vatican would lie? I’m shocked!
The Vatican is pandering to the left nowadays.
I am tempted to say the Pope is a POS, but that might be harsh
Staver says Vatican personnel initiated contact with Davis’ camp on Sept. 14 saying the pope wanted to meet her. He says Vatican security picked up her and her husband up from their Washington hotel and brought her to the Vatican embassy.
He says Vatican officials told her to change her hairstyle so she wouldn’t be recognized since they wanted the encounter kept secret.
Staver disputed a Vatican spokesman’s claims that the pope only met with Davis in a receiving line.
He said the couple was in a room with only the pope and Vatican personnel.
Did the Pope initiate the meeting? If do he is sympathetic to her BIG TIME!!
The pope seems to be a captive of the Vatican.
Will there be another forced retirement?
There isn’t definitive proof that’s been made public, but for many reasons I believe the story given by Davis and Liberty Counsel ahead of the Vatican’s version. A picture on the Liberty Counsel site which is said to be of Davis, her hair pulled up, being picked up by a Vatican car:

But he is aware of the denials going on and wont step up and say I respect and support Kim Davis.
He also will not come out and tell Catholics in the US that they must vote for pro life pro family candidates
He is a loser period imo, and I say this as A Christian that fears God
It sounds like the pope is surrounded by people who can’t be trusted.
Sad.
Have they learned nothing from the child abuse cover-ups?
I have to say, the point shouldn’t be her right to be a conscientious objector. It should be that no moral person could obey such a shockingly immoral judicial order, and that the judge who issued it should be removed from office.
That any Supreme Court ruling it purports to be based on is again so shockingly immoral that the justices themselves have lost all credibility and should themselves be removed.
Great idea. Congress should impeach the LGBTQ 5.
Something else that’s interesting is how often in the past the Pope’s words have been said to have been twisted, mistranslated, etc. One notable incident is the “who am I to judge?” controversy.
The Vatican quickly and publicly speaking out against the news about Kim Davis meeting the Pope shows that the Catholic leadership is able to clarify remarks when it chooses to.
Don’t confuse the Vatican with the Pope. Two different things.
Knifed in the back by a Pope who asked to meet her.
“He says Vatican officials told her to change her hairstyle so she wouldn’t be recognized since they wanted the encounter kept secret.”
Kim’s change of hairstyle proves that the Vatican approached her to ask if she could meet with the Pope.
Having met Mat Stave and heard him speak on a few occasions, I would take his word over the Pope’s in NY minute.
That is a very fair statement.
