Joe Biden may visit Pope Francis in final international trip of his presidency

Hindustan Times  

President Joe Biden is considering a visit to the Vatican to meet with Pope Francis in early January for what would likely be the final international trip of his presidency, according to two people familiar with the matter. Asked about the potential Vatican visit, White House national security spokesman John Kirby said Thursday that he had "no travel to speak to today.” Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni declined to confirm or deny any visit, noting that Vatican policy is to only announce papal audiences with visiting heads of state a few days before they occur. Biden, a practicing Roman Catholic, last met privately with Pope Francis earlier this year while in Italy for the Group of Seven leaders meeting. But following the Vatican meeting in 2021, Biden said Francis called him a “good Catholic” who should keep receiving Communion.
