US Vice President JD Vance met Pope Francis shortly before the Pope's death, symbolizing a complex relationship between US immigration policies and Vatican criticism. Though Vance has defended policies prioritizing Americans, oft-contradictory to the Popeâs stance advocating for universal love and compassion towards migrants, he expressed gratitude for the meeting. Vance's visit included a tour of the Sistine Chapel and discussions on global issues, reflecting on the Pope's emphasis on support for vulnerable populations in his final moments.
I was happy to see him yesterday, though he was obviously very ill. My heart goes out to the millions of Christians all over the world mourning his loss.
Despite significant policy differences regarding immigration, I expressed my gratitude for the opportunity to meet the Pope and discuss important global issues.
