People Are Obsessed With Pope Francis's Final, Resounding Message To JD Vance After His Visit To The Vatican

He was a trailblazer for LGBTQIA+ rights , migrants , and people affected by war, speaking on the phone nightly with Catholics in Gaza since October 2023. He also lived simply and humbly, making headlines in 2013 for carrying his own briefcase onto a plane (gasp!). The VP's time in the Vatican came at a tense crossroads in the Trump administration's relations with the papacy.

Back in February, Pope Francis publicly criticized Trump's immigration policy and mass deportation efforts. Vance's meeting with Catholic leaders included "an exchange of opinions on the international situation, especially regarding countries affected by war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations, with particular attention to migrants, refugees, and prisoners," according to a statement from the Vatican.
