After first refusing to confirm nor deny it, the Vatican has confirmed that Pope Francis met with the Kentucky clerk Kim Davis at the Vatican Embassy in Washington, where Davis' attorney -- who made the news public after the pope's trip ended -- said Francis told her to "stay strong." And that simple encounter completely undermines all the goodwill the pope created in downplaying "the gay issue" on his U.S. trip.
The pope played us for fools, trying to have it both ways. As I noted last week, he's an artful politician, telling different audiences what they want to hear on homosexuality. He did that in Argentina as a cardinal -- railing against gay marriage when the Vatican expected him to do so -- and he's done that since becoming pope, striking a softer tone on the issue after Benedict's harsh denunciations were a p.r. disaster for the Catholic Church in the West. But this news about Kim Davis portrays him as a more sinister kind of politician. That's the kind that secretly supports hate, ushering the bigots in the back door -- knowing they're an embarrassment -- while speaking publicly about about how none of us can judge one another.

They are having a temper tantrum and resorting to name calling. They said he was so wonderful when he spouted the global warming and other nonsense. Now when Pope Francis acts like a man of God should act, they can't control their anger.
Here we go....
“How Pope Francis Undermined the Goodwill of His Trip and Proved to Be a Coward”
By pimping gun control, communism and the cult of global warming.
Well, they are right about this...
LOL
I don’t care how liberal Pope Francis is there’s no way the head of the Catholic Church is gonna give gays and lesbians the church’s blessing. It shows how stupid they are to think that.
Signorile is one the great theorists of the gay revolution. He’s also a onetime Catholic. Sounds like he’s sorry he didn’t go to the dissenters’ assembly at the White House and take down the pope.

What else has this turd been called on FR?
I find it very entertaining. The masses saw right through his B.S. almost immediately
He should have done this publicly.
As for his supposed “hate,” how many of the sodomy hawks in the media are willing to take partial blame when a sodomite dies from a horrible STD?
We all know the answer to that question.
To me, his cowardice was that before Congress, he did not upbraid the Supreme Court about gay marriage, and before Congress, he never mentioned the sin of killing babies and harvesting them for body parts to be openly sold.
On a pastoral level, he was a coward before Congress by never mentioning Jesus Christ nor explaining the way of salvation.
The apostle Paul would have no problem in expounding on all of these topics in that arena.
On that I'll agree with Huffington Post (yikes!)
I'd express the situation another way. In public, Mr. Pope spent a lot of time on secular issues....enjoy being invaded, climate change, etc. And his support for a woman who stood up for her Christian beliefs gets support....in private?
Most of the comments at the article are caustically vile.
No one can hate (or project) like a leftist.
The Huffington Post is just another Fag Rag.
“his support for a woman who stood up for her Christian beliefs gets support....in private?”
Kim Davis’s lawyer said that they did not want to release the details right away.
No fan of this Pope, but when will the huff and puffers offer the same critique of Lord Fouls trip to the UN?
