The Vatican would lie? I’m shocked!

[GeorgiaDawg32]

The Vatican is pandering to the left nowadays.

[Mrs. Don-o]

The article says a "Vatican spokesman"s says Kim Davis only met Pope Francis 'in a receiving line.' However everything I've read says that Fr. Federico Lombardi DIDN'T say this, and he's the only "Vatican spokesman" I've seen quoted by name.

On the other hand, I've seen Philip Pullella report in Reuters that "receiving line" meme, attributing it to a 'senior Vatican official, who declined to be named.’

It's terribly confusing: I actually had to draw a chart showing who said what. But it seems to me the "lying" was done by Reuters/Philip Pullella or this "unnamed" source, not by "the Vatican."

It may seem like nit-picking, but it's not. If you want to call someone a liar, you really need to nail down who it is that lied.
