About 48 hours after Pope Francis decamped from America’s greatest city, reports started circulating in the press-later confirmed by the Vatican-that the Holy Father had secretly met with Kim Davis, that Kentucky clerk who refused to grant same-sex marriage licenses. Davis, you’ll recall, has been (for the last month anyway) History’s Greatest Monster.

And not just “met with,” but Francis (allegedly) embraced Davis, gave her a rosary, and encouraged her to “stay strong.”
