So apparently the pope is NOT as big of an idiot as I thought in the last journal. While he did meet with Kim Davis, it was little more than a gathering of acquaintances or a meet-and-greet and certainly NOT a one-on-one as Davis had claimed. We here in the states tend to place events on either side of the bipartisan line and there's little gray area here. But it does exist. A report from the Vatican itself says that the pope (all popes) doesn't tend to outright avoid meeting with people who they disagree with. In fact, that's basically the way politics and religion have to work- in order to remain civil, sometimes you have to talk with some unsavory people.

I didn't really want to get hung up on this issue, as no one really should care what the pope thinks about Kim Davis and her antics, but I thought I'd better correct myself.
