The writer of "Disappointed that pope met Kim Davis" [Oct. 11] shouldn't feel so bad that Francis met the Kentucky clerk who refuses to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
I've seen this kindhearted pope on television speaking with convicts, shaking their hands and offering a private moment of counsel to each. It doesn't mean he endorses their behavior.
