BIDEN-FRANCIS
A planned presidential visit to the Vatican, which reportedly would have included Mass and an audience with Pope Francis, will not occur this week. “Our sources confirm that there was indeed a plan for the President to visit the Vatican, with the hope that he could attend Mass as part of his European trip.
If he received Communion at the Vatican — whether directly from Pope Francis or not — it would surely have been used by partisans to influence the anticipated discussion expected among the Bishops in the United States later this week.”
