Yes, I've been invested with papal authority to calm his flock - I'm going to start passing out absolutions around here soon. Ad hominum dictum quasimodo irredenti sum. Say 5 bloody Marys and maul me in the morning.

The Pope could properly have admired Kim Davis for her bravery. If not her wisdom.

I do.

But in a functioning Government the Firemen don't get to chose which blaze to douse.

As for the Pope it was quite right for him to recognize the courage of someone willing to put her job on the line. And then tell her to get back to work.

And BTW enough already of subordinates doing the jobs she doesn't feel like handling.

Unless they get her pay too.

Ah well, it's old enough and

Not the same thing Michael. The Pope did not invite Kim Davis to meet with him and the meeting was not arranged in a way that suggests he approves of what she's doing. By contrast, he did invite his old friend to visit and he did so in a way that suggests he does approve of his gay friend and his spouse who was also present.

Nope. You can't meet with

Nope. You can't meet with David Duke in a way that bolsters what he's doing and then tell me it's okay because you have black friends.

Does this mollify you?

Yayo Grassi, an openly gay man, brought his partner and several friends to a brief meeting with Pope Francis on Sept. 23, the day before the pope met with Kim Davis, according to CNN.

A video of the meeting shows Grassi and the pope hugging each other. In an interview with CNN, Grassi said the meeting was arranged by the pope in an e-mail in the weeks before the trip. Grassi said that the pope taught him in literature and psychology classes in high school in Argentina from 1964-1965, according to CNN.
