I Met The Pope....Really!

     'OMG! And I mean that in a respectfully very religious manner Jesus, but did you see That? OMG, I Met the Pope! Me, little ol' insignificant country bumpkin Me! Imagine That! And you know what? Shoot, I never even saw it coming. One minute I'm just a plain Jane, sittin' here mindin' my own beeswax, not bothering Anybody, just bein' my own selfless ultra religious, Jesus lovin', Homophobic self, and the Next, Mr Pope calls and wants to see Me, Me, Me, Me! And believe you Me..., I'm All about Me! Of course I had to drag my hokie husband along with me but that's just part of being famous I reckon. I did tell him to ditch those yahoo overalls though! Now, How did his Highnass even Know about Me in the first place, I asked no one in particular. I guess he just keeps up on the most important American news, and boy I've been all over the News for sure, and of course I Am Important. You know, I've been thinkin' about running for some political office. That nice Mr Huckabee told me to stay Out of politics but I know why he said that. He's afraid that I'll win, and he'll be out lookin' for a job. Did you see how he had the gonads to take credit for springin' me outta that hell hole of a prison? The Nerve! He's just about on my 'poop' list I tell ya! Of course he Did get me some good Press though. I bet I can get more votes than he could Ever even Dream about. I could even get more than Jesus! Those sin filled, devil lovin' homos won't get married on My watch!
I tell ya, I been blessed by the big cheese! Of course I Did have to
wash his stinky feet, those Catholics sure have some weird 'ways', to get that blessing, I wonder which God they worship, but I'm on my way to being Rich And famous. Watch out heathen America, you ain't heard the last of Me, Me, Me. Did I mention ME?  :/ :/  BuddyBlack





(CNN)Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who spent six days in jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, met privately with Pope Francis last week, adding a surprising twist to his first visit to the United States.
The meeting came Thursday at the Vatican Embassy in Washington, according to a statement on the Liberty Counsel website.
Mat Staver, a lawyer for Davis, said the session lasted 10 minutes and was just between the Pope, his client and her husband. He said pictures were taken and will be released at some point.

"I was humbled to meet Pope Francis. Of all people, why me?" Davis said in the statement.
"Pope Francis was kind, genuinely caring, and very personable. He even asked me to pray for him. Pope Francis thanked me for my courage and told me to 'stay strong.' "
Staver, who didn't attend the meeting, said the Pope hugged Davis and gave her and her husband each a rosary, which she in turn gave to her parents.
The Vatican had little to say about the meeting.
"I don't deny that the meeting took place," said the Rev. Federico Lombardi, "but I have no comment to add."
The meeting added a partisan wrinkle to Pope Francis' trip last week.
While he strongly defended religious freedom in speeches at the White House, Congress and Philadelphia's Independence Mall, Francis avoided taking public stances on particular political issues.
Davis, meanwhile, personifies religious conservatives' concerns about the enforcement of nondiscrimination laws.
GOP candidate Mike Huckabee cheered news of the meeting, saying that it amounted to an implicit endorsement of Davis.
The White House was asked about the meeting and said one's religious belief doesn't trump the law.
"Our religion freedom doesn't grant us the freedom to deny our fellow Americans their constitutional rights," press secretary Josh Earnest said. "Our position about ... Ms. Davis is quite clear; that the President believes strongly in the rule of law, and that's a principle that applies to those who are engaged in public service, starting at the level of the president of the United States, but even going down all the way to the level of the Rowan County clerk in Kentucky."
