Washington D.C., Jan 16, 2020 / 02:00 pm (CNA).- Vice President Mike Pence will travel to the Vatican next week to meet with Pope Francis.

Pence’s office confirmed with CNA on Thursday that the Vice President is scheduled to be received by the Pope during his overseas trip next week. No details have yet been released about the topics that might be discussed at the meeting.

The Vice President’s visit comes immediately after the U.S. religious freedom ambassador traveled to Vatican City for the launch of the Abrahamic Faiths Initiative, held on Tuesday at the official residence of the U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See, Callista Gingrich.

...

It was inspired, she said, by the 2019 document on “Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together,” a joint statement of Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar in Abu Dhabi that was signed in the United Arab Emirates.

No slam on Pence, but why is the USA officially involved in this?

The USA has diplomatic relations with the Holy See, which is to say, the political entity of the Vatican City-state. Also, the Holy See is not a voting member of the U.N., but has permanent observer status. The Vatican diplomats and the U.S. diplomats often caucus together on global pro-life, pro-family, and religious liberty issues.

I hope Pence preaches the Gospel to Francis. In a challenging way.

Trump did go to North Korea, what’s another visit to a committed enemy of the USA?

The Pope will have a scowl on his face when he meets VP Pence. He hates people like Pence.

Any photos together will get frowny-face-Francis. The over the top fake smile and warm embrace is saved for commie dictators.

"Make sure you wear a "bullsheite proof" vest Mike."

Especially when standing by Bergie for the joint statement that affirms both of em' don't like Catholics and Catholic Dogma.

Was going to post the same thing. Looking forward to Bergoglio hamming it up with one of his classic “sourpusses” to signal disapproval of Pence to the world. Expecting a doozy!

Pence should dump some holy water on the false pope and see if he melts.

Maybe Pres. Trump figured the Pope needed some advice and instructions from Pence.
