Lots of buzz over meeting between pope francis and kentucky Clerk Kim Davis during his trip to the United States. Vatican confirmed the encounter but said it should not be seen as holy father supporting davis contentious objection to issuing gay marriage licenses. Alexandria hoff takes a closer look. Reporter on the plane departing the u. S. Pope francis spoke of Conscientious Objection of the human right. Since then it has been revealed that while in washington he met with a friend, and that friends long time sex sex partner. We know that francis had a brush with kentucky clerk, of course, kim davis, who has refused to same sex marriage licenses. She said that pope francis told her to stay strong in doing so but according to the vatican quote, the the the pope did not enter into the details of the situation of mrs. Davis, and is meeting with her should not be considered a form of support, of her position in all of its particular and complex aspects. On facebook, rick maclean told thaws sound to me like some backpedaling. On twitter jonathan, says that pope visits prisoners cost not mean he endorses crime. Same here. Most of the people that the pope meets, he doesnt know who they are and usually someone who stand by him who says this is mrs. Smith, this is mr. Jones. The pope greets them, shakes their hand, they take a picture and they move on. Reporter with Conscientious Objection in mind, we came here to Montgomery County where, 203 county clerk bruce haines, did something similar to kim davis only on the other end of the spectrum. He started to give out gay marriage licenses seven though it was in the legal yet here in pennsylvania. Certainly that was contrary to what state law said. But, the overriding interest of the constitution in my opinion, covered in that case. Reporter big question that remains is who invited davis to be in the popes presence. I can be very confident in saying it wasnt the pope that arranged this meeting. But given the attention, and some of the publicity, some of which is negative, i dont think we ever know will know who arranged this meeting. Reporter in Montgomery County, alexandria hoff, cbs3 Eyewitness News. Today vatican said pope francis met with the openly gay former student from argentina and his boyfriend while in washington. Francis spoke with both men and it was the only private audience that he granted during his stay, in washington d. C. Kate bilo joins us with our Weather Forecast. And we were talking about that 1 2 punch earlier. Two and out. And, we will take one. It is pretty good. Yes, indeed. The the lasting of three days and yesterday, coastal flooding but today the worst of it. Tomorrow, just as bad especially at high tide down the the the shore. Things will not get better very quickly. We do not have a hurricane to put on top on this because i cannot imagine the devastation if on top of this persistent flood threat down the the shore we had a storm as it looked like making land fall south of the mouth of the delaware bay. Luckily that is not happening. Joaquin is heading out to sea. We can already see that happening. I want to show you outside right now, this is not a very good look at the ocean city boardwalk. We have looked at this camera many times, packed with people, lots of sunshine. Now camera is shaking. You can barely seaboard walk. Rain is coming down very heavily there at the moment. You can see how low that visibility is. In addition to the flooding just being out on the roads that are not flooded tonight could be very, very dangerous. Thanks to the fact that you cannot see very far in front of you. It is a all thanks to moisture along the stalled cold front. Moisture impacting areas from southern new england down to the the carolinas. This moisture you see here streaming in the carolinas does have a connection to Hurricane Joaquin even though storm is moving out to sea. The it is keeping that transport of moisture in the carolinas over next few days. I want to draw your attention to heavier band have rain over portions of burlington county. This one just moving on the shore points. It is not raining heavily down the shore. It will be in the next five minutes or so. Here by the way is joaquin. You can see not much connection but notice how a little bit of this is connection to that storm even as it moves out to sea.
