Pope Met With Kim Davis, Say Her Lawyers
Pope Francis met privately with renegade Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis when he was in the U.S. last week, according to her lawyers from the right-wing group Liberty Counsel. The pope, who said little about marriage equality during his visit, did make a reference to the right of “conscientious objection,” even by government officials, when duties conflict with their religious beliefs. Davis says issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples conflicts with hers. When meeting with Davis and her husband, Joe, last Thursday, Francis encouraged her to “stay strong,” according to a Liberty Counsel press release.
