The Vatican confirms: During Pope Francis’ visit to the United States last week, he had a private meeting with anti-gay Kentucky clerk Kim Davis.

According to Davis’ own reported account, she and her husband Joe were ushered into an audience with Francis on Thursday. An unnamed official from the Vatican side initiated the meeting. The two reportedly embraced upon seeing each other and spoke together in English without the aid of a translator.

“Thank you for your courage,” Francis reportedly said. “Stay strong.” He then asked Davis to pray for him, a request he is also known to have made during his private audience with former House Speaker John Boehner.  

“It was really very humbling to even think that he would want to, you know, meet me or know me,” Davis told ABC News. Staver said photos of the event will be forthcoming.

You’ve got to be kidding me. This is a pope who claims trans people are as dangerous to humanity as nuclear warfare, but Kim Davis he makes time for?!

But no, y’all go ahead and keep reblogging him unironically and praising his empty rhetoric while the reality is that he’s substantively done literally nothing to alter or improve the Catholic church’s horrid treatment of LGBT people and women, along with their concealment and protection of literal pedophiles. He’s Ratzinger with a nicer paint job, and the fact that said paint job’s got you all thinking he’s some sort of kindly cinnamon grandfather is exceptionally distressing.
