A Vatican spokesman refused to confirm the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>F. FEDERICO LOMBARDI<br \/>\nVatican Spokesman<br \/>\n'To those who asked me this morning, I have no comment, neither to confirm nor to deny.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Davis, a county clerk in Kentucky, gained national attention this summer for denying marriage licenses to same sex couples. She is an Apostolic Christian who converted later in life.<\/p>\n<p>During an in-flight press conference after his trip concluded, the Pope spoke about conscientiousness objectors in government.<\/p>\n<p>POPE FRANCIS<br \/>\n'I can say the conscientious objection is a right that is a part of every human right. It is a right. And if a person does not allow others to be a conscientious objector, he denies a right. Conscientious objection must enter into every juridical structure. FLASH If a government official is a human person, he has that right. It is a human right.'<\/p>\n<p>According to her lawyers, they agreed to keep the meeting a secret so that the news would not overshadow the rest of the Pope's trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Pope gave Davis, whose parents are Catholic, two rosaries. After their meeting, the two said they would pray for each other.<\/p>\n<p>ATO<br \/>\nRR<br \/>\nV<br \/>\n-PR<br \/>\nUp:ATO<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 30, 2015.
