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.

As it turns out, according to USA Today on Wednesday, the Vatican has confirmed the meeting, although they have refused to add any other details other than the fact that it took place.

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”.

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.

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.

Again, she was out not because she had done anything to earn her freedom, but because her deputies did the job Davis wouldn’t do and issued the marriage licenses as required by a U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding gay marriage.

The recent controversy relating to Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk that was jailed for exercising her First Amendment right for not issuing licenses for gay marriages that were recently ruled protected under the U.S. Constitution, raises the issue of the legality of that ruling.

Since the decision was announced, there have been multiple reports of county clerks refusing to issue any marriage licenses at all.
