Well, it's unfortunate that New Pope reset the 15 minute famewhore clock on this story. But whatever, we all know his primary job is to keep the pews in asses.

I know - no matter what the reason - Pope's handlers were misled or Pope and handlers totally agree with her, this story totally took the luster off his enormously (until this story) visit to U.S. And if he and handlers are that STUPID to not check this story out first, that is as bad as being deceptive and meeting with her secretly. I certainly hope that she somehow managed to sneak into a group meeting him, told him that she was being persecuted for her faith, accepted his sympathy, and picked up her token rosaries WHICH SHE WILL NOT PERSONALLY USE, all at the behest and arranging of her very skillful lawyers and backers. And if the Vatican got hornswaggled by these people, I hope they learn something about why Congress is also tied up in knots by these religious extremists. I'm all for standing up for your beliefs, even is I don't agree with the, but this babe is no martyr...she has given up ZILCH for her alleged stand. I don't agree with what the Little Sisters of the Poor are doing with health insurance, but totally respect them as they have sacrificed a LOT in their lives for their religious views...they are sincere.

Actually, that's about the most believable part. New Pope pretty much asks evrrbody to pray for him.

Clearly, New Pope had a meeting with all the people touched by the Catholic Church.

Kim Davis says "Oh! My parents were Catholic!"

To be fair, only ex cathedra.

Kim Davis was telling the pope that her 3rd husband had the most beautiful white robe she had ever seen until she met the Bishop of Rome.

Well, Miss "I-met-the-Pope" Davis, I can top you! I had me a sit-down with the HIGHEST power! Had a dream last night in which I met with the one, the only ELVIS! Know what he told me? He said you suck eggs and steal sheep, that's what! Called you a hunka-hunka burning donkey hocky. So cower, you heathen, to the black-velvetness of His words!

Innocent until proven guilty. I find it plausible that the pope exchanged words with David without endorsing her actions. Certainly the Vatican has not endorsed Davis and they seem to not want to talk about that woman at all. For all we know, the Pope told Davis that she needs to seek penance for her own trespasses and not abuse the name of Christ by implicating him in her ceaseless famewhoring.

I hope that's what it means.
