Senator Tim Kaine met with Pope Francis after attending a general audience with him on Wednesday.
Kaine and the Pope discussed the Holy See’s work to address the global refugee and migrant crisis, according to the senator’s office.
“As the Pope stated so clearly yesterday, it is a ‘moral imperative’ to protect and defend the ‘inalienable rights’ of refugees and respect their dignity, especially by adopting just laws that protect those fleeing dangerous or inhumane situations,” said Kaine in a statement.
Kaine also participated in a discussion focused on Latin American issues with Vatican officials and members of other religious orders and meet with the Jesuit Refugee Service to discuss its work with refugees and asylum seekers.
On Friday Kaine will deliver an address in London at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, known as Chatham House, titled “The Truman Doctrine at 70.”
He will discuss the historical significance of the Truman doctrine, new strategic challenges facing the United States, future of the transatlantic partnership, and the continued importance of America’s leadership role in a changing world, his office said.

That's not really true anymore. Lately, Pope Francis been referring to abortion as merely an "interruption in pregnancy".He said this just 3 months ago ... "I wish to restate as firmly as I can that abortion is a grave sin, since it puts an end to an innocent life,"

He said this just 19 days ago:
Let us promote the culture of life as a response to the logic of rejected and to the falling birth rate; let us be close to and together pray for the babies who are at risk of the interruption of pregnancy, as well as those who are at the end of their life – every life is sacred!

That reminds me. Wasn’t there something to do with “pizza” regarding this Pope in his early days?

Oh yea. From Time:
“Pope Francis said earlier this month that the one thing that bugged him about being Pontiff was not being able to go out unnoticed to get pizza.”

Probably a condolence visit and I''m pretty sure the topic of abortion was never discussed. Pope: "I'll have more flexibility on abortion after Vatican III".

Is Kaine, the new rat Catholic poster boy, who still votes for funding abortions?

Is VATICAN CITY TO BE OPENED FOR ALL JIHADI REFUGEES?? El Popo, TEAR DOWN THIS/YOUR WALL! The Vatican wall was first built in 852 A.D. to fend off Muslim attackers. It is guarded today with the elite Swiss Guards with all types of guns shown below:

Semantics. You ignore where he says “Let us promote the culture of life ...” while hyper focusing on the two words he used instead of the word abortion.
He may fall short on many levels, but the man is very pro-life. Period. Always has been ... always will be.
