Fuck you, Rowan County (KY) Clerk Kim Davis

I personally don’t care if they met or not. I still like him and dislike her. The pope has to understand that a secular society cannot always make accommodation for people to not perform their job or other civic duties because of their faith. Obviously from his perspective faith must come first but that isn’t how the government was established. If a reasonable compromise is that her staff must issue but she doesn’t have to personally sign, then maybe the matter is resolved.

Well, since she switched to republican last week, maybe she’ll be Catholic this week.

Who cares? I don’t care if she meets with Billy Graham’s ghost. She’s an ass.

Considering that Rev. Graham is still alive, her meeting with his ghost would actually be quite the accomplishment.

Billy Graham is god in two persons, blessed duality.

Oh, I thought we were talking about SuperStar Billy Graham -

Sorry. I shouldn’t have restricted it to babies when all the world knows they fuck older children, too.

If she did meet the Pope, she shouldn’t think too much about it. The Pope meets all kinds of people, it doesn’t mean much. He met some prison inmates, it doesn’t mean he agrees with them. Everyone saw that cute baby dressed like the Pope. He met it, but that doesn’t mean he agrees with the baby that people should get to play with boobs all day or that women are nothing more than a titty delivery system. Fucking babies and their sexist agenda, amirite?

Wishful thinking. :wink:

How can you tell?

Billy Graham isn’t so special. The Detroit Lions do the same thing as him, make an entire stadium shout “Jesus Christ!”

You mean, you hope we’re electing a new PM. :wink:

Biggest surprise of 2015 – she really did meet the pope. (The Atlantic–sorry, no cite.)

True, we’re not electing a PM, and although most are not voting for members of his party, he still might hold on as PM with a minority.

Davis gang suing Kentucky Governor
Quote from the Governor -
“Davis is simply wrong,” they said. “Neither the governor” nor the other state official she sued “is responsible for setting or enforcing marriage licensing policy,” which is the province of the state legislature.

The notion that the governor could require licenses to be issued on his authority “demonstrates the absurdity of Davis’ argument.”

What’s more, the governor’s lawyers said, state law does not require Davis or any other country clerk to condone or approve of same-sex marriage. The purely administrative function of certifying that the legal requirements have been met “does not implicate her individual religious beliefs.”

Keep digging Kim.

In the eighteenth century, it was called “boxing the Jesuit”. Seems appropriate, in this context.

I don’t think I’ve seen or read anything anywhere about Kim Davis herself making any statement about meeting the Pope, except for the things her lawyer Mat Staver says she said. Everything about her alleged meeting is coming from Staver, plus a few lame non-denials from Church people.

I just don’t believe anything Staver says, at least not just because he says it. This is the guy who just gave us the 10000000000-people rally in Peru. Really? There’s anybody in Peru who’s worked up over some petty local clerk in some little office in Norteamerica?

I think Staver, with his agenda, is the driving force behind this whole Kim Davis saga.

According to the New York Times, Rev. Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, did not deny that a meeting between Davis & the Pope took place, but would not confirm any details. He had previously refused to confirm or deny the meeting entirely. The meeting was apparently memorialized by official Vatican photographers, so photos may be released soon.

It’s frankly appalling. Davis is not the downtrodden. She isn’t being persecuted for her faith, she isn’t a political prisoner, she is in a bind of her own making for violating civil rights of the citizens she’s oath-bound to serve. For the Pope to support her truly puts paid to all of the nonsense lies about his liberalism or progressivism.

Attention and she probably sees it as validation of her by a world religious leader.

How many people does the Pope meet? Who does the vetting? IF she really met with him, I suspect that whoever looked into her background hasn’t the first idea of what this is really about. Just like Kim Davis and her flunky lawyers have no idea what this is about.

Also… the Pope is liberal or progressive? I mean I like the Pope and all, but, you know… he’s still an orthodox Catholic.
