Pope’s Gay Former Pupil Dishes About Their Meeting

I'm not sure why people are so heartened by the pope meeting with a gay former student when a Vatican official was just fired after coming out on the eve of Church conference on family, but if you're into that kind of thing, Towleroad has more about the reunion.

“When he [Francis] shows up on that corridor and I see him, and we embrace, it was so wonderful. “I joked with him, we told each other a couple of jokes, and then I introduced all my friends to him, and they had things to bless and we talked. He asked me how my business is doing, what kind of food I was cooking, really things of a friend, that a friend would ask another friend.”
