President Biden arrived at the Vatican Friday for a meeting with Pope Francis, a key part of his trip to Italy for the G20, to discuss climate change, COVID-19 and caring for the poor amid Catholic scrutiny of the president's pro-abortion rights policies.
"It's good to be back," Biden, traveling with first lady Jill Biden, said as he arrived Friday.
Biden is the first Catholic president in more than 50 years. President John F. Kennedy Jr. was the last Catholic president. White House press secretary Jen Psaki this week said the two would discuss a range of issues on which they agree during their upcoming visit, and that abortion would not be one of them.
Any document that the bishops adopt when they convene in Baltimore next month is unlikely to mention Biden or any other politician by name.
