Yayo Grassi, who, with his partner, met with Pope Francis in Washington, D.C., says it isn’t like him to do anything divisive, such as encouraging clerk Kim Davis to break the law. In fact, the Pope once write him, “I want you to know this: that in my pastoral work there is no place for homophobia.”

Grassi, 67, met Francis more than 50 years ago when the future pope taught at his all boys school in Argentina. They reconnected in 2008, and since becoming pope Francis has since met him and his boyfriend of 17 years twice, once in Rome and most recently in Washington, Grassi said…

Grassi said after the Davis story came out and he was contacted by the media he thought: “Perhaps this is the time to defend him. I owe him that as a friend, not because he is a friend but because I know part of the truth.”

Grassi said “encouraging somebody who is so divisive” like Davis would be out of character for Francis.

“Here is this guy that is so much into integrating everybody, communicating with everybody,” Grassi said, adding he was “500 percent sure” the pope did not initiate the meeting with Davis.

        in a receiving line, she and others receive rosaries. My grandmother received them in a receiving line as well. This was no audience.

          Davis is a Dominionist. They hate the Catholic Church and think the Pope is the anti-Christ. Her use of him to promote herself and her un-American politics is despicable on all levels.
