The rumor is that it was arranged by a group of conservative American bishops who've been trying to undermine the Pope's message. They object to his progressive views and want to return the Church back to the 'good old days', which according to what some people have reported could mean back to pre-Vatican II.

Who 'invited' Davis to meet him? She's not even a catholic & obviously she used him to her benefit...

Pope Francis’ encounter with Kim Davis wasn’t an endorsement of her views, the Vatican says.

Vatican officials announced on Friday that Pope Francis did not hold a private meeting with Kim Davis last week in Washington — as has been widely reported — but that Ms. Davis was among dozens of guests ushered into the Vatican’s Embassy in Washington for a brief meeting with him.

Francis was unaware of the specifics of the case of Ms. Davis, the Rowan County, Ky., clerk who has refused to grant a marriage license to a gay couple, despite a judge’s orders that she do so. The case has become a focal point in the debate over the tensions between religious liberty and marriage equality in the United States.

“Pope Francis met with several dozen persons who had been invited by the Nunciature to greet him as he prepared to leave Washington for New York City,” the Rev. Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, said in a statement released on Friday morning, referring to the Vatican’s term for its embassy.
