As the network for persecuted Christians, Fox News wasted no time in support of Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who was jailed for refusing to grant same sex marriage licenses because Jesus, Yesterday, Tucker Carlson sang her praises and today, official Fox priest, Fr, Jonathan Morris, did the same.

This morning, Carlson began the "Keeping the Faith" segment by reporting on yesterday's demonstration in support for Fox's newest Christian hero. Video of the demonstration and comments from her lawyer, Mat Staver, from the right wing Liberty Counsel, a group which has compared the LGBT community to Nazis and which, of course, believes that gay marriage is destroying America. Staver, of course, feels that Davis "should be applauded."

Carlson asked Fox's one true priest, Fr. Jonathan Morris, how long Davis should be imprisoned. Morris, of course, didn't believe that Davis should be in jail because "we are in a grown up society and we should be able to figure out that the law is followed and that people should be able to get their marriage licenses from somebody who doesn't have a problem with it." He advocated for Davis to be able to keep her job and "not send her to jail." Devout Episcopal Church hating (they ordain women and support gay marriage) Anglican Christian Carlson said "amen."

Morris cited instances where public officials are "able to step away and say 'I don't have to this'." Carlson smirked as Ann Kooiman asked about the logistics of having having separate (but equal?) procedures for the licenses. Morris opined that "we can figure that out." While Morris admitted that, as a government employee, she is responsible for doing her job, "the consequences are disproportional to what she's done."

Clayton Morris brought up the "idea of conscience" and noted that the thrice divorced Davis has been "slammed" by critics. Morris said that "you don't have to be perfect for following your conscience" and said he had "every reason" to believe that she "is doing this for the right reason."

In responding to Carlson's question of when Christians should step  away from doing something that violates their faith,  Morris provided a Catholic exegesis on "participation in evil" which informs Christians that if what they're doing is really bad, they should quit doing it. Doing his priestly duty as a mouthpiece for the GOP right, Fr. Morris advanced the right's wing's anti-government stance when he suggested that if you want to keep your conscience clean, "it's better to work for yourself than the government."

 The banners framed the agitprop throughout the piece: "Faith Under Fire" Hundreds Gather in Support of Jailed  KY clerk;" "Keeping the faith, religious freedom vs. the rule of law;" "Wedded to her Beliefs, Davis Refusing Licenses to Same Sex Couples;" and '"Religious 'Conviction' Davis Refuses Order to Issue Licenses."

In the real world, Kim Davis is no MLK (as suggested by Tucker Carlson). But then Fox News isn't fair & balanced, either.
