Kentucky Clerk Has Brief Meeting With the Pope

Davis said, according to the Liberty Counsel. Staver said he was there when a auto picked up the Davises to take them to the embassy.

Pope Francis did not focus on the gay marriage debate during his visit last week.

“What people say about me does not define who I am”.

Speaking to media on a flight home from his tour of the USA, Pope Francis answered questions about Christian “martyrs” who feel persecuted by their actions.

Monday, during his return trip to Rome, Pope Francis was asked specifically about Davis’s case. It is a right.

“I do not deny that the meeting took place, but I have no other comments to add”, he said. “It is a human right“. She cited her biblical opposition to same-sex marriage. Bunning eventually held Davis in contempt and she was jailed until her office began issuing the licenses to all couples.
