In a story June 14, 2021, about Joe Biden and Pope Francis, the Catholic News Agency, based on information provided by a source, erroneously reported that the U.S. President would meet with the pope on June 15. According to Vatican sources June 15, there is no meeting currently scheduled between Pope Francis and President Joe Biden.

(snip)

The President’s entourage had originally requested for Biden to attend Mass with the pope early in the morning, but the proposal was nixed by the Vatican after considering the impact that Biden receiving Holy Communion from the pope would have on the discussions the USCCB is planning to have during their meeting starting Wednesday, June 16.

The U.S. bishops are slated to vote on creating a committee that would draft a document about Eucharistic coherence.

[Tench_Coxe]

Wasn't sure if this was more appropriate for the Religion forum, but there is news here that a meeting between Biden and the Pope did not happen, mainly around concerns of Biden receiving communion prior to a vote on a document regarding eucharistic coherence, something Pope Francis was involved with.

In other words, the Pope issuing communion to Biden in light of what is being voted on would be a "bad look".

That may be the reason. Equally likely is that Biden cancelled it due to his health - he wasn’t up to a morning meeting.

[romanesq]

It’s definitely news.

[glimmerman70]

Probly right. He needed to sleep in.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Two commie buds, both sharing the same goals for the world . . . why wouldn’t they meet?

2 Marxists. Who cares

The Vatican cancelled the meeting after Biden kept getting the Pontiff’s name wrong, repeatedly referring to him as “Corn Pope.”

Neither did his tete a tete with Vlad.

[Leep]

Doesn’t the pope know that biden is only moved by a $$$ bribe?

DOesn't the Pope realize that Joe is also a Child Rapist, making him just like the Priests under the Pope?? I thought for sure that alone would grant him access.

Maybe the current person sitting in the Chair of St. Peter will buy one of Hunter’s art pieces.

[I want the USA back]

They don’t have to meet. They’re both Catholics In Name Only, who worship marxism and hate the USA. The pope, who kissed an iman on the lips, is down with everything biden is doing.

[MAAG]

Well I’ll give him this one, I would not meet with this Pope either.

[BillyBoy]

I think the most likely reason why is Biden just wanted the “meeting” to pose for another photo-op thing to push his “good devout Catholic” narrative, and the Vatican didn’t time to schedule such a pointless event where nothing would happen during the “meeting”.

[Bloodandgravy]

Maybe it was Hunter Biden saying God was “a fictional character from the imagination of the collective frightened.” Good catholic boy.
