September 28, 2015 Pope Francis Says Government Workers Have The Right To Refuse To Issue Gay Marriage Licenses By Rick Moran Pope Francis told reporters on his flight back to Rome from the U.S. today that government workers issuing gay marriage licesnses have a "human right" to refuse to do their duty if it goes against their conscience.

I favor Kim Davis but I’m not sure I agree with the pope. It isn’t that a functionary has the right to not do his job. It is that the directive of a judge in this case stinks to heaven and no man or woman of conscience could possibly do what an immoral judge has demanded.

It is that the judge ought to have been impeached and removed from office. And still should be removed. The Supreme Court justices who have gone along with this should be impeached and evicted from their offices.

What continues to shock is that out of the thousands of people affected by this decree only one, Kim Davis, has stood up and refused.

So he said that on the plane headed out of town?

Must've slipped his mind while he was busy pontificating on non-religious matters in America. That or he figured the lavender press in America would get all catty and rip him to shreds.

Kim Davis took an oath to uphold the law. The law changed after her oath. The “new law” was not based on law (legal precedence or Constitutional law), it was decreed from the bench by false gods in black dresses working in an activist capacity at the Supremacist Court.

My understanding is that the law did NOT change.

The laws are decided by the legislative branch, not the judicial branch.

So Muslims in government have the right to refuse to do anything against Sharia?

[ilovesarah2012]

The pope has zero authority in the issue but nice of him to weigh in.

[Steelfish]

Sharia itself is a violation of human rights

If the Pope supports Kim Davis, well I will have to give him thumbs up on this one. Dont let it be said that I dont give credit when it is due.

However I think he could have had a impact on Abortion and homosexual/anti Christian issues if he had told people the truth over the past week...That being if their heart stops beating while they hold these views, they will be lost for eternity.

BTW I say this with the assumption that everybody knows they have to invite Jesus into their heart, thanking Him for personally dying on the cross for their sins, and repenting

A person that calls themselves a Christian yet supports these evils, it`s clear that their conversion was not genuine
