Wonderful, like the good old days. Ceremonial, private, no photo ops. A few pics released to the press. Classy.
A refreshing difference between a REAL president, and....the former guy....humility and self-awareness....

Classy? Saying you’re the only Irishman that ever had a drink and that you want to go drinking with the Pope…decorum was never one of Biden’s strong suits.

Pretty humiliating thing to say to Macron. Is it possible to screw someone over with grace?

Do you like decorum, grace and class in a president?

Vomit.
And the issue of sexual abuse of children by catholic priests was sidestepped.

Abortion is both - freedom of choice and also murder.
Its unethical to force a woman to birth a rapists or terrorist baby and not all pregnancies are of healthy fetus.
And how on earth did they managed to have a discussion on-" the protection of human rights , including freedom of religion and conscience " and sidestepping the abortion issue ??

Do you like the capacity to focus on handling the business of the American people rather than personal stuff in a president?

Yes he did. Which one didn't he violate?
lmao no it's not. Biden may be pro-choice, but that's hardly the only reason the people chose him for president.

“Pro choice” Catholic. Is that a thing now?

Apparently the Pope doesn't care. Why do you?
Blacklabel
Because I would like to know what else has been “changed” in church doctrine just not politically embarrass a specific politician.
if abortion is to be ignored then public statements that someone is a “good”Catholic should also be left unsaid.

Imagine being this being hung up on abortion, but not caring at all what happens to the kid after they're born. What a "great" person. Really.

Yesterday, in another forum, someone quoted “Catholic statistics for North American” countries:
Since its been brought up here, may we have similar statistics for the EU?
… And, not to exclude anyone, but as matter of balancing perspectives to this current commentary, perhaps include the U.K. (England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland?) and the Republic of Ireland?:
*@zichi 10:42am: **“The majority of people in the EU are Catholics and support the right of women to choose and same sex marriages.”*

I have no time for any religious dogma, but as far as I’m aware, the Pope the head of the Catholic Church, and is surely in a better position than you or I to judge who is ‘good’ in his particular stripe of Christianity.
I don’t know what the pope’s assessment of Biden is as a Catholic, or what criteria is used to come to that judgement, but agreeing to a meeting seems to indicate he doesn’t see Biden as beyond the pale.
You seem to have a very clear criteria regarding who is a ‘good’ Catholic. I’m sure the Pope would appreciate the lesson. Drop him a mail.

@snowymountainhell it was a typo excuse me -30 million.
That's what happens when it too sunny and at the mercy of spellcheck at work.

That must have been a hoot. Hopefully he went to confession over the Afghanistan disaster.

Organizing to fill the void left by Australian produce in the EU with US produce. Just as what happened in China. Australians aren't US lackeys but US suckers.

I disagree

Don’t care much for organized religion, but as long as one can be a good human being it’s fine.
And President Biden is one for sure!!!
bass4funk
Hmmm, not sure on that one, debatable, but the one thing one can say without question, organized religion is never going away and whether you support or hate it, it's here to stay, but millions of devout Catholics in the US are not at all pleased with this President and his political stance when it comes to children and abortion.
