Holy shit. It was a plant job. The ambassador to the US was the loser to a power struggle when Pope Francis was elected. His post is deemed something of an exile.

This background stuff is amazing.

Vatican will likely 'fire' the nuncio that arranged the meeting.


fake edit tl;dr:

At age 75, you have to file with the Vatican for 'permisson' to retire. This is usually a formality and arent automatically approved and they serve well past 75.

The guy turns 75 in January and it's likely his retirement will be processed immediately. So technically not being fired, but is in the spirit of being fired.

She's been offered $500,000 to do an interracial lesbian scene.
http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2015/10/kim-davis-porn-offer-same-sex-porn-scene

The offer comes from The Dogfart Network (real name), the self-described “Undisputed Kings of Adult Interracial Entertainment since 1996,” to do a scene for its site ZebraGirls.com, which focuses on Interracial Lesbian scenes...
We are giving her a chance at a redemption. We are willing to drop half a million bucks for Kim to come out to our studio and shoot an Interracial Lesbian scene for our network.”

To sweeten the deal, Dogfart has also welcomed her family for an all expense paid vacation. Davis has a week to accept the offer.
 
The words “hate group” recently appeared in black and white in newspapers and websites all around the world. And because those words were used to describe the conservative law firm representing Kim Davis, her attorneys are red all over.

Claire Galofaro, a correspondent for the Associated Press, reported October 4 that the label was applied to the law firm by the Southern Poverty Law Center. SPLC defends that label on its website with dozens of examples of antigay positions, statements, and cases, and calls Liberty Counsel “a legal organization advocating for anti-LGBT discrimination under the guise of religious liberty.”

Now, according to a report by watchdog group Media Matters, Liberty Counsel is demanding the AP permanently delete the report and accuses the wire service of putting the lives of Davis and Liberty Counsel staff at risk, saying death threats have come in.

However, in reality, the AP’s original reporting appears to be a very clear statement of facts, as put forth by the SPLC on its website:

“With the expansion of equal rights for LGBT people, especially, the Liberty Counsel has come into their own, working to attempt to ensure that Christians can continue to engage in anti-LGBT discrimination in places of business under the guise of 'religious liberty.' Through lawsuits and its annual Awakening conference in Orlando, the Counsel attempts to enforce the idea that Christian beliefs and law trump all other law.”

Liberty Counsel “regularly portrays gay people as perverse, diseased pedophiles putting Western civilization at risk,” and in doing so it is “way, way over the line,” Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the center, told the AP.
