'This is not like him': Kim Davis meeting shocks Pope Francis's gay ex-student | World news | The Guardian

'Sorry Mr. Grassi, but your personal relationship with the Pope I think has blinded you to his political actions His public actions are how I judge him. I do know that his meeting with Kim Davis will only encourage more "acts of conscience" as well as violence on the part of intolerant people more committed to religious belief than to their responsibility as citizens to respect our Constitution and the rulings of the Supreme Court . It was no accident that the Pope met formally with this four times married and three times divorcee whose defied federal law by refusing to issue license to same sex couples. His action here, are like his actions in Cuba, where he said his purpose was to get people to return to Church. An institution that continues to demonize loving homosexual relationships and shame women who seek to control their own bodies. No, what the Pope does behind closed doors may be of interest to you, but not to me. I suggest Mr. Grass, you wake up and realize what he did . No amount of clever spin can make me see different. I have said it before and I repeated now. Until Pope Francis is willing to get down on his knees, admit error and apologize for the rejection of homosexuals from burning at the stake in the past to the institutions current fight by preaching and financing anti -equality attacks on basic civil rights legislation and referendum all over the world The Pope needs to do the same to all women for his Church's lethal misogyny and continued rejection of equal opportunity for women including the priesthood. Please stop making excuses for PaPa. Far too much State and Federal funds were use to pay for this Papal visit. We are still a national whose Constitution calls for separation of Church and State
