Mat Staver Dishonest

...and most other members of the [not so] Religious Right.  Staver recently commented enthusiastically about 100,000 people praying in Peru in support of embattled county clerk and bigot, Kim Davis.  Unfortunately for lying liar Staver, the picture that accompanied his pronouncement was from a rally in 2014.

More recently, Staver announced a meeting Davis and Pope Francis and said the Pope had encouraged her.  Staver made it sound (and continues to insist) as though His Holiness and the often divorced county clerk had had a genuine meeting of souls when in fact, as the Vatican later clarified, she had been one of many who were blessed in passing.  Funny, the only individual the Pope actually met with was an old friend who, it happens, is gay.  Ha ha.

Aside:  I went to the blog of local curmudgeon, Dad29, simply out of curiosity.  We had a civil conversation for a bit about Davis and the Pope.  Daddio still hasn't responded to my refutation (with links) of his being encouraged by the "encouragement" of the Pope for Davis's illegal activities and bigotry.  But then daddio has always been in favor of getting in the last word.  He's not required to respond and may yet, who knows?

What gets me about daddio ... he can wax poetic about the beauty of the Eternal, yet his actions and words are diametrically opposed to how Jesus through his sermons asked followers to behave.  That's dishonest.
