Papal spokesman Father Thomas Rosica flatly denies Kim Davis met privately with Pope Francis when he visited Washington, D.C. which stands in flat contradiction to Davis’s claims.
In Roscia’s telling Davis was part of a large number of people as part of “the farewell greeting as the Pope was leaving the Nunciature in Washington” prior to his departure for New York City.
Rosica said the Vatican ambassador to the United States, “…invited a number of guests, his own choice, to greet the Pope, very brief greetings, and in the Pope’s characteristic kindness and hospitality he shook people’s hands and gave them Rosaries. In terms of why this person was invited, you’d have to ask the Nuncio.”
This stands diametrically opposed to the claims of Kim Davis that she met privately with the Pope and that no one else, besides a handful of Vatican personnel, was present. As proof of her version of events, Davis’s lawyer Mathew Staver points to the fact that the Vatican sent a security detail to pick her up at her hotel and deliver her to the Vatican Embassy.

First the back-peddling on Kim Davis, then the announcement that the homosexual priest was fired for another reason. Someone has something on someone.
Today the whole world is built on lies, deception and confusion.
Thank God for discernment.
If a photo comes out and the Vatican is shown to be liars....smh
Only the NSA knows for sure.
The left is obsessed with Kim Davis. Obama forces the Pope to meet with all sorts of leftist radicals but the left is outraged that he might meet with Kim Davis. My how things have turned upside-down under Obama.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
Rosica has lied before.
Roscia is low level compared to Lombardi. A simple search establishes the facts: 1) the nuncio arranged for the Pope to meet with Kim Davis, among others, 2) the Pope did indeed met with her — as described by Fr. Lombardi below. Later on the plane back to Rome, the Pope pointed out the obvious moral principle that government employees have consciences and the right to use them. Here’s Lombardi’s statement from the Vatican Radio site:
“The brief meeting between Mrs. Kim Davis and Pope Francis at the Apostolic Nunciature in Washington, DC has continued to provoke comments and discussion. In order to contribute to an objective understanding of what transpired I am able to clarify the following points:
“Pope Francis met with several dozen persons who had been invited by the Nunciature to greet him as he prepared to leave Washington for New York City. Such brief greetings occur on all papal visits and are due to the Pope’s characteristic kindness and availability. The only real audience granted by the Pope at the Nunciature was with one of his former students and his family.
“The Pope did not enter into the details of the situation of Mrs. Davis and his meeting with her should not be considered a form of support of her position in all of its particular and complex aspects.”
Lombardi has no credibility.
