[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1858955, member: 44954"] The pope only briefly met with Kim Davis, despite what her lawyer wants to sell to the media. But he did have a much longer sit down with a former student, Yavo Grassi, who happens to be gay, and his male partner of 19 years The timing of these two meetings making news headlines is most likely not coincidental given the politics that comes with religion. Sunday, the Vatican begins Synod, a 3 week meeting discussing the future of the church's position on social issues such as family, homosexuality, single parents, and divorce. Maybe the pope meeting with both Kim Davis, [B]and[/B] a personal friend who happens to be gay, isn't hypocrisy at all..... but rather a subtle portrayal of the direction he wants Catholicism to go in the future. Maybe he can support Kim Davis [B]and [/B]Yavo Grassi both as conscientious objectors, one legal and the other religious. Or maybe it's just a political move to play both sides.... I don't know the guy, could go either way. Say what you want about the current pope, but you can't deny he's the best case scenario for the Catholic church at this point in time. [/QUOTE]
