US Vice President JD Vance met briefly with Pope Francis on Easter Sunday because the pontiff recovers from pneumonia.
Vance’s motorcade entered Vatican Metropolis by a facet gate and parked close to Francis’ resort residence whereas Easter Mass was being celebrated in St. Peter’s Sq..
Francis, who has significantly in the reduction of his workload to get well, delegated the celebration of the Mass to a different cardinal.
The Vatican stated they met for a couple of minutes on the Domus Santa Marta “to exchange Easter greetings.”
Vance and the pope have tangled sharply over migration and the Trump administration’s plans to deport migrants en masse.
Francis has made caring for migrants a trademark of his papacy.
Vance, who transformed to Catholicism in 2019, met with the Vatican secretary of state and international minister on Saturday.
