I don't know if you're referring to age 62 retirement or 66/67ish,

but you would be better off waiting as long as you can to collect SS, as your amount t collect for the rest of your life will increase each month that you wait up to age 70.

My opinion is that you are one of America's unsung heroes.
Congratulations on a productive and meaningful life.
May you enjoy a well-earned retirement, when it comes.

Lawrence O'Donnell said the papal nuncio arranged the meeting.

Apparently the Nuncio is known to be a conservative, and Lawrence O'Donnell said he will be leaving the post in a matter of months, and some U. S. clergy would like it to be sooner.

We do not know how this person - Kim Davis- was explained to Pope Francis, and how Francis understood the meeting. He was a guest in the Papal Nuncio's home and may have felt pressured to comply or at least be polite.

Kim Davis was in Washington at the Value Voters meeting to receive an award, and likely someone with motives one can presume felt it was a good opportunity to further her and their cause.
