Pope Francis Confirms: I Met With Kim Davis

You want to meet the president? Make a clock, You want to meet the Pope? Read on.

Pope Francis has admitted via the Vatican, that he did indeed meet with controversial Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis while visiting the U.S.

Davis’ attorney went public about last week’s meeting in Washington, DC on Monday night — and Davis herself has talked about it Wednesday. The Vatican was slow to confirm the meeting, but finally told the NY Times it did happen. Reporters — who didn’t know about the meeting at the time — had asked the Pope last week what he thought about Davis’ refusal to grant marriage licenses to same sex couples. The Pontiff said he didn’t know her story, but generally supported someone’s right to conscientiously object. Kim says Pope Francis gave her rosaries and told her to stay strong. h/t tmz

The Vatican refused to give further details on the meeting.
