Joe Biden is taking a page from Ronald Reagan’s playbook in his meeting with Pope Francis

President Joe Biden, who will meet Pope Francis at the Vatican on Oct. 29, is Catholic. The country’s first Catholic president, John F. Kennedy, visited the Vatican, too. But meetings between U.S. presidents and popes have been a staple of politics since the Kennedy era, whether the president was Catholic or not.

Woodrow Wilson was the first sitting president to meet a pope, visiting Pope Benedict XV amid peace negotiations after World War I. Dwight Eisenhower met John XXIII as part of an international goodwill tour. Lyndon Johnson first met with Paul VI when the pontiff came to New York for a historic address at the United Nations in 1965. Richard Nixon twice met with Paul VI, despite the Pope’s clear opposition to the war in Vietnam. Gerald Ford met with Paul VI in 1975, and Jimmy Carter greeted the new pope, John Paul II, in 1979.

Reagan met with Pope John Paul II to overthrow the Soviet Union. Biden and Francis are meeting to try to overthrow the United States and maybe even Francis’s boss too

Both President Reagan and Pope John Paul II actually and deeply believed in God. Can’t say the same about Biden and Francis.
