Bryan Fischer is not at all happy about reports that the Vatican is contradicting the claims from Kentucky clerk Kim Davis and her attorneys at Liberty Counsel that Davis was invited to meet privately with Pope Francis when both were in Washington, D.C. last week, during which the pope allegedly praised her for standing strong in her fight to prevent her county office from issuing marriage licenses to gay couples.

On his radio show today, Fischer insisted that the version of events put forth by Liberty Counsel can be trusted because “Mat Staver is a man of absolute, unquestioned integrity, so when Mat Staver speaks, he is going to tell you the truth.”

Um, not exactly.

The fact that the Vatican is now backing away from Davis, Fischer said, is a testament to the strength of the bullies in “the Gay Gestapo.”

“What this story illustrates is the power of the Gay Gestapo,” he said. “What this story illustrates is the power and the influence of pro-sodomy lobby in international affairs. Big Gay and homosexual lobby, homosexual activists, have so much power that they can intimidate the pope himself … The bigots and bullies of Big Gay have intimidated the pope.”
