^^^ THIS.

I’ll bet the same dictum went out to Macron, King Charles et al. In his pettiness, Bergoglio wants to downplay his successor so he is telling the world’s big shots to stay away.

Biden’s presence and participation would make a mockery of everything Benedict held sacred.

I am glad he is banned.
