Are we believing this? I saw it two different times on Twitter yesterday. The first time I was checking to see if it was satire or from the Onion. Newsmax was the second place I saw it tweeted from, and I still felt it was bogus. This is reuters. I STILL cannot accept it as true.

Don’t confuse the knuckle-dragging caucus here for humanity in general. They’re getting worse.

On Wednesday, the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, confirmed the meeting, but he declined to elaborate. “I do not deny that the meeting took place, but I have no other comments to add,” he said.

The couple met for about 15 minutes with the pope, who was accompanied by security, aides and photographers. Mr. Staver said he expected to receive photographs of the meeting from the Vatican soon.
