CWN Editor's Note: A federal judge has ruled that Kim Davis, once a county clerk in Kentucky, violated the constitutional rights of two same-sex couples in 2015 when she declined to sign their marriage licenses. The ruling allows a lawsuit against Davis to proceed.

(In 2015, Archbishop Carlo Maria ViganĂ², then apostolic nuncio to the United States, arranged for Davis to greet Pope Francis in the Vatican embassy in the US—leading to controversy that lasted through 2018.)
