Pope Francis Held Secret Meetings With Same-Sex LGBT Couples During US Trip
Yayo Grassi, an openly gay man, brought his partner, Iwan Bagus, as well several other friends to the Vatican Embassy on September 23 for a brief visit with Pope Francis.
Pope held private meeting with same-sex couple in U.S.
“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.” Romans 1:26,27 (KJV)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This month, Pope Francis has called high-level meetings at the Vatican to discuss how to include openly gay and lesbian people within the church. His secret meeting last week with same-sex couples shows you the Popes true intentions. Prepare yourself for full and complete acceptance of openly-gay LGBT Catholic church members. Pope Francis is building his One World Religion, and the gates of Hell fully support him. Grassi said the Pope has long known that he is gay, but has never condemned his sexuality or his same-sex relationship. Hmm…I bet.
Yayo Grassi, an openly gay man, brought his partner, Iwan Bagus, as well several other friends to the Vatican Embassy on September 23 for a brief visit with Pope Francis. A video of the meeting shows Grassi and Francis greeting each other with a warm hug.
In an exclusive interview with CNN, Grassi said the visit was arranged personally with the Pope via email in the weeks ahead of Francis’ highly anticipated visit to the United States.

“Three weeks before the trip, he called me on the phone and said he would love to give me a hug,” Grassi said.
The meeting between the Pope and gay couple adds another intriguing twist to the strange aftermath of Francis’ first-ever trip to the United States. Since news broke on Tuesday of Francis’ meeting with Davis, conservatives have cheered the seemingly implicit endorsement, while liberals have questioned how much the Pope knew about her case.
The two encounters — one with a gay couple and one with a government official who ardently opposes homosexuality — have left the Vatican scrambling to issue statements that seek to de-politicize the Pope’s meetings and agenda.
On Friday afternoon, Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said that Grassi had asked to present his friends to Francis in Washington.
“As noted in the past, the Pope, as pastor, has maintained many personal relationships with people in a spirit of kindness, welcome and dialogue,” Lombardi said.
Earlier on Friday, the Vatican said that the meeting with Davis was not intended as a show of support for her cause and “the only real audience granted by the Pope at the nunciature (embassy) was with one of his former students and his family.”
“That was me,” Grassi said.
Grassi, who is 67, added that he is willing to talk about his private moment with the pontiff because he was upset about media coverage of the Pope’s meeting with Davis.
“I want to show the truth of who Pope Francis is,” he said.
Pope Francis taught Grassi in literature and psychology classes at Inmaculada Concepcion, a Catholic high school in Sante Fe, Argentina, from 1964-1965. Grassi said that he is now an atheist.
Grassi said the Pope has long known that he is gay, but has never condemned his sexuality or his same-sex relationship. In the video, Francis says he recalls meeting Grassi’s boyfriend in Rome.
“He has never been judgmental,” Grassi said. “He has never said anything negative.”
Grassi said that he asked for the meeting in Washington because the friends he brought along have been through difficult times and wanted to receive of a blessing from the pontiff.
At the end the meeting, the Pope hugs both Grassi and Bagus and kisses them on the cheek.
“Obviously he is the pastor of the church and he has to follow the church’s teachings,” Grassi added. “But as a human being he understands all kinds of situations, and he is open to all kinds of people, including those with different sexual characteristics.”
While not changing church teaching, which considers same-sex relationships sinful, Pope Francis has often emphasized mercy over judgment. In 2013, for example, he famously said, “Who am I to judge” gay priests who seek to do God’s will. He also reportedly met with a transgender man from Spain in January of this year.
At the same time, the Vatican has refused to recognize France’s ambassador to the Holy See, Laurent Stefanini, who is openly gay. And Francis has show little inclination to adjust church doctrine on sexuality.
“It reminds us, again, that the Pope meets with all sorts of people on his trips and that such meetings are not an ‘endorsement’ of anything,” said the Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit priest and editor at large at America magazine.
“In this case, for example, he is not endorsing same-sex marriage. But if Mr. Grassi’s account is accurate, then it makes me happy to know that the Pope keeps in contact with his old friends, both gay and straight. For friendship and welcome are at the heart of the Christian life.”
This October, the Vatican will hold a major meeting, called a synod, to discuss how to minister to gays and lesbians, among other issues facing modern Catholics.
While Grassi describes his relationship to the Pope as very close, they haven’t always agreed on same-sex rights.
During Argentina’s heated debate over same-sex marriage in 2010, Grassi chastised the Pope for opposing gay rights. At one point, the future pontiff suggested that same-sex marriage is the work of the devil.
“You have been my guide, continuously moving my horizons—you have shaped the most progressive aspects of my worldview,” Grassi wrote to the future Pope in an email, according to National Geographic magazine. “And to hear this from you is so disappointing.”
Grassi told CNN that Francis — then Cardinal Jorge Margio Bergoglio — wrote back, saying that he was sorry to have upset his former student and promising that “homophobia” had no place in the Catholic Church.
Grassi said he believes the Pope was “misled” into meeting with Davis, who served six days in a Kentucky jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Davis’ lawyers had portrayed the papal meeting as an endorsement of her cause. After several days of questions and culture-war sparring, the Vatican said that was not the case.
“The Pope did not enter into the details of the situation of Mrs. Davis, and his meeting with her should not be considered a form of support of her position in all of its particular and complex aspects,” Lombardi said in a statement issued Friday morning.
The question of who, exactly, set up the meeting between Davis and the Pope has been the subject of fervid media speculation this week.
Vatican officials have said that such an encounter could only have taken place with the planning and approval of the Holy See’s nuncio — or envoy — to the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. source

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS MIDWEEK UPDATE: Trump At Davos Backs Down On Greenland Takeover And Yuval Noah Harari Says AI Will Soon Control The Bible
On this Midweek Update, Donald Trump backs down on Greenland at Davos and Yuval Noah Harari says AI will soon control the words of God
Donald Trump arrived in Davos today, 3 hours late due to a highly suspicious “electrical failure” aboard Air Force One, and instead of bringing the New World Order to its knees as Q and MAGA had predicted, he used his podium to assure Europe that the US military would not be taking over Greenland and that the punitive tariffs he was threatening would not be put in place. Thank God for whoever told him to step away from the ledge, but we’ll be back there soon enough. Yuval Noah Harari makes a prediction that AI will control the words of God, and we show you the viral video of him saying that. Lots going on in our Midweek Update!

INVEST IN PAPER: Antichrist Enabler Yuval Noah Harari Speaking At Davos Today Said That AI Will Take Control Of The Bible And The Written Words Of God
End times villain Yuval Noah Harari said today at the World Economic Forum in Davos that ‘AI will take control of the words of God’, challenge accepted
The enemies of God are out of the closet, bold and brazen, and today at the globalist World Economic Forum in Davos, one of our favorite end times villains, Yuval Noah Harari, declared that AI will take over and control the ‘words of God’ specifically mentioning the ones found in the Jewish Bible. Talk about a 21st-century version of “Yea, hath God said?”, Harari like Lucifer in Isaiah 14 is shaking his fist at God and literally daring Him to stop the AI takeover of His words. As we like to remind you, this world is preparing itself to receive the Antichrist, of whom Yuval Noah Harari would seem to be the forerunner.
“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” Psalm 12:6,7 (KJB)
We have told you repeatedly over the past 6 years to ‘invest in paper’, why do we mean by that? Simply that since an EMP strike will render things like PDF files and e-Bibles useless in the blink of an eye, that you should start building a library made up of bound, paper books with words printed on its pages in ink. Think about it. God could have used the most advanced technology in the Universe to preserve His words, but instead, He chose a book for His Book, hand inscribed or printed on paper. That’s what you should do, too. This is why we have a King James Bible Bookstore.
Israeli historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari on Tuesday warned that artificial intelligence could challenge book-based religions, saying AI is likely to take over “anything made of words.”
Speaking at the World Economic Forum 2026 Annual Meeting in Davos, Harari said AI is already better than many humans at organising and analysing language. As a result, he argued, systems built mainly on words could increasingly fall under the influence of AI. Focusing on Judaism, he noted that it calls itself as the “religion of the book” and places ultimate authority not in human experience, but in written words. He then raised a broader question about the future of faith in the age of artificial intelligence. “What happens to a religion of the book when the greatest expert on the holy book is an AI?” Harari asked.
Someone should tell him that the preserved words of God are sharper than a two-edged sword, more important than our necessary food, and will exist exactly how God spoke them for eternity. But I know this, after the Rapture of the Church when the strong delusion hits, it’s going to be Hell on Earth, a Hell in which AI will rule for 7 short years. To be excused from that mess, click here.

Donald Trump
AMERICA ALONE: Donald Trump At The Davos World Economic Forum Was Supposed To ‘Dismantle The New World Order’, Instead He Turned The World Against Us
From America First To America Alone: Trump at Davos World Economic Forum unites the free world against the United States
For years, millions of MAGA Americans believed Donald Trump was raised up to stand against the New World Order, to expose the globalist cabal, and to tear down the Davos system brick by brick. Yet here we are watching Trump stand at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the very beating heart of globalism, while the nations rage — not against Klaus Schwab, not against Larry Fink — but against America. This is what we warned you was coming, and now it’s here.
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)
The flashpoint is Greenland, but don’t be fooled — this is not about ice, minerals, or Arctic shipping lanes. It is about power, sovereignty, and who gets to dictate the future world order. And right now, the optics are disastrous. Davos is not neutral ground. It is not a debating hall. It is the throne room of global governance, where unelected elites gather to coordinate economic, political, and technological control over the nations. The photo at the top of this article was posted to social media by Trump and the White House. The stock market reacted to all this with a 700 point drop.
Donald Trump’s openly-gay Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is seen here warning Europe to not come against the United States when we take Greenland. Things are getting crazy. pic.twitter.com/sZYzTuCJH0
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) January 20, 2026
So when Trump walks into Davos and sparks international outrage — not against the WEF, but against the United States — the result is not the collapse of globalism, but its reinforcement. Europe rallies. NATO hardens. Leaders who normally despise one another suddenly find unity in opposing America.
That is not dismantling the New World Order. That is accelerating the conditions required for it.
Let’s be clear: Greenland belongs to Greenlanders. Denmark knows it. The EU knows it. And the moment Trump framed the issue as American acquisition, rather than cooperation, he handed globalists the moral high ground they crave. What we are witnessing is not a random diplomatic spat. It is the steady erosion of national independence, including America’s. First isolation. Then demonization. Then replacement. America does not need to be conquered — it needs to be removed as a moral authority. And nothing accomplishes that faster than turning allies into adversaries.
Now the headlines read:
- “U.S. threatens allies”
- “America destabilizes NATO”
- “Western unity at risk”
That narrative doesn’t weaken globalism — it justifies it. The New World Order does not fear chaos. It feeds on it. It uses conflict to argue for “global solutions,” “shared sovereignty,” and “collective security.” And every time America is painted as the bully, the case for supranational authority grows stronger.
The Takeaway That You Must Grasp
- Davos is not being defeated — it is consolidating
- America is not rising — it is being positioned
- The New World Order does not fear Trump — it absorbs the chaos around him
- Bible prophecy is not stalled — it is right on schedule
Our hope was never in Trump.
Our hope was never in America.
Our hope has always been in Jesus Christ, and His soon return.
