1. Why would the Pope meeting with Kentucky's Kim Davis, the clerk who refused to issue same sex marriages, be a story in this newspaper. In your opinion? Page A3 "Pope met with Kentucky clerk" I think the Pope meeting with Kim Davis is a story in this newspaper because not only is it a very bold action for a Catholic Pope to meet with a Kentucky government official, but the idea that he's seeing both points of view is a humbling idea. Pope Francis having compassion and wanting to talk to Davis is an example for everyone else to try and get over this fiasco.
