Kim Davis Drops Bombshell About Her And Pope Francis During His US Visit- Liberals Will Be Incensed
Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, who took a stand for her principles and was briefly jailed for her refusal to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples, met with Pope Francis during his visit to Washington, D.C. last week.
“It was really very humbling to even think that he would even want to meet me, or know me,” Davis told NBC News Wednesday.
“Who am I to have this rare opportunity? I am just a county clerk who loves Jesus and desires with all my heart to serve him,” Davis said in a according to a statement released by her attorneys, Liberty Counsel. “Pope Francis was kind, genuinely caring, and very personable. He even asked me to pray for him. Pope Francis thanked me for my courage and told me to ‘stay strong.’”
“That was a great encouragement, just knowing that the pope is on track with what we’re doing,” Davis said Wednesday. “Kind of validates everything.”
Liberty Counsel said that Davis and her husband, Joe, shared face time with Francis at the Vatican Embassy.
Attorney Mat Staver of the Liberty Counsel said in a statement that Pope Francis told Kim Davis in English, “Thank you for your courage.” The pope then allegedly held out his hands and asked Davis to pray for him. Staver said Davis responded, “I will. Please pray for me”, to which Pope Francis responded that he would.
The pope gave Davis and her husband two rosaries, which she is giving to her Catholic parents, Liberty Counsel said.
On his way back to the Vatican, Pope Francis made strong statements in support of the right of government officials to refuse to abide by laws that violate their beliefs.
“Conscientious objection must enter into every juridical structure because it is a right,” Francis said. “Conscientious objection is a right that is a part of every human right. And if someone does not allow others to be a conscientious objector, he denies a right.”
