ROWAN COUNTY, Kentucky (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Much of the media focus has been on Kim Davis, the Rowan County clerk who is now in jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, in violation of a high court order.
But in the same county clerk office, there is another Davis, Nathan, a deputy clerk who has also been refusing marriage license applications to same-sex couples.
You guessed it right, Nathan is Kim’s son and subordinate.
Nathan continues to uphold his mom’s decision to refuse to issue licenses to gay men and women under “God’s authority.” So he will soon be reunited with Kim. In county jail.
Now that this mother-son conspiracy is out, the older Davis is facing a new, additional charge: nepotism.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) announced today that it was seceding from The Vatican over recent pronouncements by Pope Francis.
The final straw for the Filipino bishops was the pope’s instruction allowing priests to absolve Catholics of the sin of abortion.
In a statement, CBCP president and Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas said the Church still considers abortion a mortal sin and that aborting a baby merits excommunication. Villegas said, “Choosing to terminate innocent, unborn life is not among a woman’s options, because her right to privacy and to make decisions about herself do not extend to the life in her womb, over which she enjoys no dominion at all.”
Other papal pronouncements that led to the decision of CBCP to cut ties with The Vatican include welcoming homosexuals and divorced (and remarried) Catholics into the fold of the church.
The Philippines, home to 100 Million people, about three quarters of whom are Catholics, is the only remaining country where divorce is still illegal. Homosexuality, while largely tolerated, is still frowned upon by many.
CBCP will soon convene a local Synod of Bishops to elect a titular head that will be fully independent of The Vatican. It will be held at the Philippine Arena, owned by the second largest religious group in the country, Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC).
Filipino Catholics are looking forward to the white smoke that will billow out of the arena to signal the election of a Filipino pontiff.
The Adobo Chronicles® will be bringing you live coverage of the Manila Synod.
LOUISEVILLE, Kentucky (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who has defied multiple court orders to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, has been divorced three times, given birth to twins out of wedlock and is currently married to her fourth husband.
Her attorney, Mat Staver of the Liberty Counsel, said he’s aware of her divorces — which came in 1994, 2006 and 2008 — but he’s not really sure why Davis’ marital history is “relevant” because her conversion to Christianity four years ago should have wiped her slate clean, reported US News & World Report.
An Adobo Chronicles® investigative report now reveals a different conversion for Davis — conversion therapy. It is rumored that long before she married her first husband, Davis was a lesbian.
In the early 1980’s , she underwent conversion therapy in an undisclosed town in Texas. She completed the process with flying colors and renounced her lesbianism to the delight of her conservative family and friends.
Conversion therapy (also called reparative therapy) is any treatment that aims to change sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual. Such treatments have been criticized as pseudoscience and have been a source of controversy in the United States and other countries.
Medical, scientific, and government organizations in the United States and Britain have expressed concern over conversion therapy and consider it potentially harmful. United States Surgeon General David Satcher in 2001 issued a report stating that “there is no valid scientific evidence that sexual orientation can be changed”.
