In reply to the discussion: Kentucky clerk Kim Davis in secret meeting with Pope Francis, report says [View all]Demit
(11,238 posts)7. Oh, brother. The account of the meeting at 'insidethevatican'—
The site's author says "there is no recording of this conversation, or photographs, as far as I know" but that "Kim Davis gave me this account of the meeting shortly after it took place." He says "Vatican sources have confirmed to me that this meeting did occur; the occurrence of this meeting is not in doubt." http://insidethevatican.com/news/letter-38-2015-kim-and-francis
That is so totally believable!
