USA TODAY: The Vatican has not confirmed that the meeting between Davis and Pope Francis took place

10:51pm - we'll see!

The Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples met with Pope Francis last Thursday during his U.S. visit, a meeting kept secret from the media, her lawyer says.

Kim Davis, the Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk of court, and her husband, Joe Davis, met the pope at the Vatican Embassy in Washington, lawyer Mat Staver told USA TODAY in a telephone call. Davis made national news after refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples because, she said, it conflicted with her Christian beliefs. She spent five nights in jail and was allowed to return to work as long as she did not interfere with the issuance of licenses.

The Vatican has not confirmed that the meeting between Davis and Pope Francis took place.

So there is no reason to trust them about anything.

And let's pretend a meeting did occur. If the Pope wanted it to have a larger impact, he surely wouldn't be keeping it a secret.

Why would he want to meet with an evangelical Protestant, anyway?

A visit of such magnitude surely left a paper trail, yet I see none.

First of all as an Evangelical she doesn't believe that Catholicism is even a real religion. So why would she go to a Blasphemous Man??

She is a liar. No way this happened.
