The priest also said that his coming out is for all gay priests.

Hundreds of Catholic bishops from around the world are meeting in the Vatican this month, invited by Pope Francis to debate the Catholic Church’s position on “the family”.

News sites have mostly written about her standoffs with same-sex couples or her five-day stint in jail.

Pope Francis did not know the details of Davis’ situation and did not offer conditional support to the defiant county clerk, the official said.

The Vatican released the following statement after becoming aware that reports were circulating that Davis had allegedly met with the pope: “The Holy See is aware of the reports of Kim Davis meeting with the Holy Father”.

“And I was real good at livin’ for the devil”. When I look at you I see George Wallace – and so does the Supreme Court. That is her only option, and were he alive today, Thomas Jefferson would say the same thing. Davis, who was elected as a Democrat in...

Kim Davis is at it again, but this time the clerk is altering marriage licenses instead of refusing to grant these legal documents.

She’ll question Davis on whether or not she not she disobeyed a federal judge’s order regarding altering the marriage license forms of same-sex couples.
