The pro-LGBT group Faithful America has posted a petition to Pope Francis which calls for firing Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano for his role in embarrassing the Vatican in the Kim Davis debacle. Vigano is the papal nuncio, the Vatican’s diplomatic representative in the United States. Earlier this year Vigano attended NOM’s hate march in Washington DC, much to the glee …

After a week of praising the Vatican for allegedly inviting Kim Davis to meet Pope Francis, the Liberty Counsel has turned on their former heroes and retweeted a link to a blog post which denounces the Vatican as being “taken over by a bunch of sodomites.” From the blog Vox Cantoris, where the title is “An Apology To Kim Davis”: …

After today’s big reveal about the Pope’s private audience with his former student Yayo Grassi, reporters are deluging Grassi’s DC home with interview requests. The Washington Post got some fascinating quotes from Grassi, who says that he had to speak out in the wake of the Kim Davis story. “Although I didn’t know any details, I knew immediately that he …

According to a report published today by the New York Times, Vatican observers expect US Papal Nuncio Carlo Vigano to be removed at the “first respectable opportunity” for his “grave misstep” in secretly orchestrating the Pope’s meeting with Kim Davis. They write: Archbishop Viganò is turning 75 in January, the age at which bishops must submit a formal request to …

We don’t usually hear much about Liberty Counsel co-founder Anita Staver, wife of Mat Staver, but we’re guessing this tweet will get her a bit of attention. Anita Staver’s Twitter profile photo, it must be pointed out, shows her peering through the scope of a rifle pointed at the camera. (We assume it’s Mrs. Staver on the end of that …

From Funny Or Die: “How did Kim Davis end up meeting with the Pope during his recent visit to the U.S.? She used PopeMeet, the new app that matches the Pope with everyday Americans for one-on-one meetings – as long as they are Kim Davis and not any of the volunteer workers, humanitarians, or devout Catholics you may think deserve …

The Liberty Counsel’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day just got MUCH WORSE. CNN exclusively reports: The day before Pope Francis met anti-gay county clerk Kim Davis in Washington last week, he held a private meeting with a longtime friend from Argentina who has been in a same-sex relationship for 19 years. Yayo Grassi, an openly gay man, brought his …

Obviously Brian Brown hasn’t seen today’s headlines. From his just-issued money beg: It was recently revealed that Pope Francis met privately in Washington with Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who was jailed for refusing to sacrifice her conscience and authorize same-sex ‘marriages’ that violate her deeply held religious beliefs. As you know, NOM has helped lead efforts to support Kim …

He just doesn’t fucking know when to stop: “Neither Kim Davis nor Liberty Counsel ever said the meeting was an endorsement of her legal case. Rather, the meeting was a pastoral meeting to encourage Kim Davis in which Pope Francis thanked her for her courage and told her to ‘Stay strong.’ His words and actions support the universal human right …

As the Liberty Counsel’s web of lies spectacularly implodes this morning, props are being given to Esquire writer Charles Pierce, who yesterday speculated that enemies of Pope Francis conspired to insert Kim Davis into a receiving line of others scheduled to meet him. Scott Kaufman writes at Salon: Pierce wrote that we must “stipulate that there are more than a …

This morning the Vatican formally distanced Pope Francis from Kim Davis in a statement which declares that his meeting with her “should not be considered a form of support.” The Associated Press reports: After days of confusion, the Vatican issued a statement Friday clarifying Francis’ Sept. 24 encounter with Davis, an Apostolic Christian who has become a focal point in …

“While the media elites were slobbering all over themselves because Pope Francis commented on climate change, the Pope was having a quiet and powerful meeting with a humble Apostolic county clerk from Kentucky. The Pope recognized something that the chattering class in Washington and Wall Street will never understand—that Kim Davis followed her conscience and convictions. The Pope thanked Kim …

Yesterday Pope Francis was an Obama-hugging climate fraud-endorsing socialist. Today he’s a brave defender of God’s natural order.

ABC News this morning broadcast an interview with Kim Davis in which she describes meeting Pope Francis. “I was crying. I had tears coming out of my eyes,” Davis said in an exclusive interview with ABC News. “I’m just a nobody, so it was really humbling to think he would want to meet or know me.” Davis, who refused to …

The Vatican is refusing to confirm or deny that Pope Francis met privately with Kim Davis. A Vatican spokesman says that no further statement will be made. So we get no photos, no video, no uninvolved witnesses – just a claim made by an unofficial Kentucky-based website. In other news, the Liberty Counsel now reports that 100,000 Peruvians prayed for …

According to an unconfirmed claim by the unofficial website Inside The Vatican, Pope Francis secretly met with Kim Davis and her husband Joe Davis at the Vatican Embassy in Washington DC last Thursday. The Pope reportedly embraced Davis and thanked her for her “courage.” From the report: Pope Francis entered the room. Kim greeted him, and the two embraced. There …

NBC News reports: Pope Francis appeared to weigh in on the side of anti-gay-marriage clerk Kim Davis, saying government workers have a “human right” to refuse to carry out a duty if they have a “conscientious objection.” While returning from his visit to the U.S., the pontiff told reporters aboard the papal plane Monday that anyone who prevents others from …

This is one of the more bizarre Pope Francis stories of the week. A congressman stole the water glass Pope Francis was drinking out of during his address at the White House on Thursday. Representative Bob Brady, a devout Catholic and Democrat from Pennsylvania immediately made his way to the podium after Pope Francis finished speaking and grabbed the glass …

“My dearest brothers and sisters in Christ, I am grateful for this opportunity to meet you. I am blessed by your presence. Thank you for coming here today. Words cannot fully express my sorrow for the abuse you suffered. You are precious children of God who should always expect our protection, our care and our love. I am profoundly sorry …
