Biden met with Pope Francis in Vatican City behind closed doors. The topic of abortion did not come up, the president told reporters afterward. “We just talked about the fact that he was happy that I was a good Catholic,” he claimed. Asked if the pope said he should keep receiving communion, POTUS said “yes.” Biden has been in danger of being denied communion since the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in June voted to approve the drafting of a document relating to how abortion supporters should be treated. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), another Catholic who supports abortion, was told the following month that “no one can claim to be a devout Catholic and condone the killing of innocent human life, let alone have the government pay for it.”
