JD Vance speaks out after Pope Francis' tragic death as one of last people to see him

Pope Francis spent some of his final moments with US Vice President JD Vance , setting aside their differences and disagreements, particularly over the Catholic concept of Ordo Amoris. Vance had a brief meeting with Pope Francis on Sunday to exchange Easter greetings. This came after a public disagreement over the Trump administration's migrant deportation plans, sparking rumors that the Pope may have snubbed the VP.

News of Pope Francis' passing broke on Monday morning, just after Easter Sunday. The Pope had been battling double pneumonia among other health issues, as confirmed by a heartfelt statement from the Vatican.
