There's finally a Pope I like ... a sinner friendly guy with a Liberation Theology background ... but he screws it up by meeting with a bigot ... Kim Davis.
You already know who the Pope is ... arrogant enough to take the name of St. Francis of Assisi ... the most Christ-like person to live ... since Christ!
And you know who Kim Davis is... a narrow minded believer ... stretching her 15 minutes of fame into 20 ... by refusing to acknowledge love happens in more ways than one.
The Vatican is "distancing itself" from her.
She's embracing him like no man she's ever had ... including her husband Joe ... her 4th husband ... and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that ... God knows I'm not one to judge ... but it is funny.
All that to say ... THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH LOVE!
"It is what it is," as my Mom likes to say.
Gay .. Straight ... or otherwise.
GOD is LOVE.
One of the great things I paid damn good money to learn in Seminary is ... the "thorn in Paul's flesh" was his homosexuality.
"Take it away from me," he pleaded with God on three occasions.
"It's cool," God answers. "I love you the way you are."
And there would be no Church today without Paul.
So I know Kim Davis is a bigot.
And the Pope I liked so much is an idiot.
But the God I love ... is love.
And I hope Kim Davis ... and the Pope too ... enjoy their 20 minutes.
