She has now filed a lawsuit against Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear, in order to avoid issuing marriage licences to same-sex couples.

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

Davis and her husband met privately with Francis last Thursday afternoon at the Vatican Embassy in Washington, D.C., for less than 15 minutes, her lawyer, Mat Staver has said.

ABC News reported that Father Benedettini of the Vatican’s press department issued a statement that said “the Holy See is aware of the reports of Kim Davis meeting with the Holy Father”.

A federal judge ordered Davis to jail earlier this month over her refusal to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in the Kentucky county where she’s clerk.

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”.

Francis did not specifically mention Davis in his reply, noting, “I can’t have in mind all the cases that can exist about conscientious objection”. Francis said that anyone, or any entity, who denies conscientious objection denies a right.

Davis was wrong in initially denying marriage licenses after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled same-sex couples have a right to marry throughout the country under the federal Constitution. That vote put her in the chair her own Democratic mom had filled for 37 years.

The ACLU asked Bunning to implement “coercive monetary fines” and possibly place the clerk’s office into receivership “for the limited purposes of issuing marriage licenses and the imposition of coercive monetary fines to compel her compliance with the...

“I’m not sure”, he said when asked whether Davis knows any gay people. This new license deleted all mentions of the county, removed her name, and deleted every reference to the deputy clerks.

“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...

If she refuses, the lawyers asked the judge to put the office in receivership and have someone else do it. In other words, without a petulant declaration of only doing this because they made me.

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.
