I know. All I got out of it was a cheap rosary and I'm not even Catholic. Of course, I wasn't even supposed to be there, so..... Nothing says reverence like crashing a papal audience.

I can't see what all the fuss is about - if she doesn't do her job and issue marriage certificates that are legal - sack her! As for the church surely all are equal in the sight of God - isn't that how it is supposed to go?
She is in an elected position - county clerk. She can't simply be fired, she had to be impeached.

I had to look up the exact meaning of impeach - OK so she has had complaints brought against her and surely if she is not doing what is in her work requirements she should be at least stood down - if a bricky wasn't putting mortar between his bricks which would be part of the requirements of his work HE would get the sack.

I haven't really been keeping up on this, but she did spend time in jail. Don't know what the latest is other than her and her handlers lying about a meeting with the pope.

That's one GoFundMe account I'd definitely consider contributing to....the Impeach the Bitch Fund.

I guess she did actually "meet" the Pope. What's in question is whether he embraced her as the resurrection of Mother Teresa (as her camp claims) or told her she was a sack of excrement and spit on her (what I'm rooting for). I have a feeling that the affair was like the receiving line at a wedding, where everyone files past the bride and groom and hear "Thank you for sharing our day with us", while the bride thinks "must be one of his relatives" and the groom thinks "gotta be one of her relatives" and the father of the bride thinks, "Oh, hell, it's Aunt Mary....who invited her?"
Sounds like it was like a receiving line at a wedding. I tend to believe the Vatican over this cow.
I'd be happy to contribute to the impeach the bitch fund!

This just in..
After the huge blowback and resulting PR firestorm the Vatican endured for meeting with Kim Davis — the Kentucky county clerk who refuses to issue marriage licenses to LGBT couples — Pope Francis is expected to fire the church official who arranged the meeting.
On Friday, the Vatican’s press office reiterated that the meeting with Davis was not meant to be interpreted as an endorsement of her views, but rather a simple exchange of pleasantries between the Pope and a group of admirers, one of whom happened to be Davis. The Vatican also emphasized that the only one-on-one meeting that Pope Francis had during his time in Washington, D.C. was withYayo Grassi, a gay man and former student of the Pope’s. But the Vatican appears to go one step further to make it clear that the Holy See in no way endorses Kim Davis’ bigotry.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, who arranged the Pope’s meetings in Washington (including the one with Kim Davis), is expected to be held responsible for blowback resulting from the meeting with Davis. According to the New York Times, Viganò is “likely to be removed at the first respectable opportunity” if blowback from the meeting with Davis continues to build.
“The pope has to be able to rely on his own system, and in this case the system failed him,” theology professor Dr. Massimo Faggioli told the Times. “The question is, was it a mistake, or was it done with full knowledge of how toxic she was?”
According to Faggioli, Pope Francis was very careful to structure his trip and his speeches in such a way to not be politicized by any particular faction. Archbishop Viganò’s misstep may have been the final nail in the coffin for his tenure within the church.
“This thing is the most politicized thing that you can imagine,” Faggioli added.
