#Important : Meeting in Vatican. Biden and Pope Francis đ
The world's most powerful Catholics -- President Joe Biden and Pope Francis -- renewed their close relationship on #Friday, holding a 90-minute meeting that was twice as long as the one the President held with Pope John Paul II in one of his first meetings with a pontiff.
The engagement between the two "was very warm when the delegation arrived in the room," an official said. "There was laughter and clear rapport between President Biden and the Pope."
"President Biden thanked His Holiness for his advocacy for the world's poor and those suffering from hunger, #conflict, and persecution. He lauded Pope Francis' #leadership in fighting the climate crisis, as well as his advocacy to ensure the pandemic ends for everyone through vaccine sharing and an equitable global economic #recovery," the White House said in a statement.
