Joe Biden Plans Vatican Meeting with Pope Francis on October 29Charlie Spiering 14 Oct 2021
President Joe Biden will meet Pope Francis in Rome on October 29 despite criticism from Catholics about his position on abortion.
America’s second Catholic president and First Lady Jill Biden plan their audience with the pope at the Vatican during their trip for the G20 Leader’s Summit according to the White House.
From Italy, he is scheduled to travel on to Glasgow, Scotland, for the COP26 climate change summit.
“They will discuss working together on efforts grounded in respect for fundamental human dignity, including ending the COVID-19 pandemic, tackling the climate crisis, and caring for the poor,” read the announcement from White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
The White House did not mention the issue of abortion, a controversial topic for Biden as he has committed to keep abortion legal even though he claims to be a faithful Catholic. Biden also walked back his support for the Hyde Amendment, which blocks taxpayer funding for abortions.
