What to Make of the Pope Francis-Kim Davis Meeting? | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I disagree that this needs addressing at all. Let the news cycle take care of it. I doubt, by the way, that the Nuncio arranged it. I would guess Chaput or Dolan or someone from the family life directorate at USCCB. If the latter, that person should be fired and their supervisor. That kind of stunt is all ego.
I am not shocked that Francis would meet with her. He, the bishops and most theologians simply do not understand American natural rights democracy the same way that those of us in law and political science do. That misunderstanding for the Pope is like invincible ignorance until someone explains it to him and those in the Church who are so adament about gay marriage and Roe v. Wade but can't for the life of them figure out where to go next - when the answer is probably no where.
Finally, on marriage, while fecundity is part of a requirement for marriage, lack of fecundity is not a bar toward getting marriage. Treat gays like you treat older adults and your issue disappears.
