New Info claims Pope Francis was Blindsided by the Kim Davis Visit

This is getting interesting.

Chicago Archbishop Blase Cupich tells CBS 2 that this whole Kim Davis stuff is not what it seems. He says that the Pope didn't request to see Kim. In fact he was blindsided. Some say it was orchestrated by the Pope’s representative, Carlo Maria Vigano.

Here's more
Not even the Papal Spokesman Federico Lombardi knew about it ahead of time. Nor did the leadership of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which would have opposed it. Others claim the Pope knew about the meeting and had ordered Vatican diplomats, perhaps even Vigano, to set it up. CBS 2’s Vatican source doesn’t think so.

A close advisor to Pope Francis tweeted that the Pope was, in his words, “exploited” by those who set up what the CBS 2 source says was a “meeting that never should have taken place.” Some call it an attempt by highly placed church leaders in the U.S. to diminish the impact of the Pope’s visit. Archbishop Cupich tried to downplay both the meeting and its significance. “It is his way of saying that walls of communication need to come down. Meeting with someone is not an endorsement of that person’s position,” Cupich said.
Hmm...

Watch the report

Sorry. Ain't buying it. Frankie expects us to believe he didn't know about it at all? Even the day of? He's a hypocrite and a coward.
