President Joe Biden’s attendance at early morning Mass with Pope Francis was nixed from an early plan for the first meeting of both leaders, a reliable Vatican source told Catholic News Agency.
President Biden is currently in Europe for several high level meetings, offering a potential opportunity to meet with Pope Francis. According to Vatican sources June 15, there is no meeting currently scheduled between the two men.
The President’s entourage had originally requested for Biden to attend Mass with the pope early in the morning, but the proposal was nixed by the Vatican after considering the impact that Biden receiving Holy Communion from the pope would have on the discussions the USCCB is planning to have during their meeting starting Wednesday, June 16.
The U.S. bishops are slated to vote on creating a committee that would draft a document about Eucharistic coherence.
The above comes from a June 14 story with the Catholic News Agency.
A June 15 update follows:
In a story June 14, 2021, about Joe Biden and Pope Francis, the Catholic News Agency, based on information provided by a source, erroneously reported that the U.S. President would meet with the pope on June 15. According to Vatican sources June 15, there is no meeting currently scheduled between Pope Francis and President Joe Biden.
Biden uses Catholicism for optics to advance himself politically. No doubt if there had been a meeting and Mass photos of Biden with the pope and receiving Communion would have been publicized by Biden’s staff to show what a “devout” Catholic he is. The pope was going to have none of that.
Fake news. Biden is a very prayerful devout man, people around him know that. As VP when the Bin Laden raid was happening, he was praying the Rosary. When they found the target, he put the rosary away and when the general advising the White House learned that, he said that the troops were not out of harms way and please don’t stop praying. Besides, I’m pretty sure the two have met when the Pope came to DC (trying to fact check that – all the news is about this trip).
And by the way…what a horrible to say about someone. Do you honestly think that when Trump had the military clear the area last year so he could hold up a Bible in front of a Church he probably never intended, that that was nothing but a publicity stunt?
He supports the killing of babies! Got that? He supports the killing of innocent babies. Devout Catholics don’t do that, or make excuses for those who do.
You are wrong Mom he is opposed to the killing of babies. GOT THAT!?
He can’t overturn Roe so he is obligated to uphold it GOT THAT, Mom?
If you think Trump never procured abortions for all his mistresses over the years, you are blind.
Biden can’t say he supports abortion but is opposed to what it does, which is kill babies.
He doesn’t run from Roe, he embraces it and is willing to pack the Supreme Court to keep Roe the law of the land.
He is not neutral toward baby murder, and his embrace of the horrific slaughter of the innocents has nothing to do with Trump.
So to be clear, abortion kills babies, people who support abortion support the killing of babies. Got that?
I love it when Trump permeates the minds of Godless liberals.
Stop: His policies are advancing abortions, he performed a gay marriage, he is not a Catholic, he is a fraud…as for Trump procuring abortion you have no way of having the remote amount of knowledge on this.
he is not “obligated” to uphold a Supreme Court decision. he actually has no power over that decision one way or the other, except maybe in the upcoming case the court is going to hear he could have the Justice dept. file an amicus brief asking the Court to over rule it, or at least uphold the law in question protecting unborn life.
since his election, he has been funding abortion and has all but erased Trump’s pro -lfe actions.
direct co-operation with evil.
When did Trump ever try to pass himself off as Catholic? Don’t know anything about Trumps personal abortion history, but as far as ‘protection of the unborn’ as a category, he leaves Joe Biden pitifully in the dust. Pretty good for a guy that never tried to pass himself off as a Catholic.
He restarted funding to killing babies world wide. That’s a fact.
Biden is a criminal who supports
“A woman’s right to choose”
He supports their”right” to kill babies. He is a pos
Moms Care– Also, Biden and his evil Democrats want to force Catholic doctors and others who are against Abortion, to abort babies. He is very hostile to Freedom of Religion! He crucifies his own church that he says he belongs to! Sacrilegious Communions are a huge offense against God– along with all the other sins of Biden and his Democrats!
Horrible is ripping apart the body of an inborn baby, which Biden thinks is fine and wants me to pay for it. Horrible is you defending him, and somehow trying to equate Trump holding a bible to Biden sucking up to baby killing Planned Parenthood. The work PP does is horrible, Biden’s defense of it is horrible. You need to learn what horrible means, a few anti-Biden comments does not constitute “horrible”.
The federal government concluded Trump had nothing to do with that. Read:
An internal government investigation has determined that the decision to forcibly clear racial justice protesters from an area in front of the White House last year was not influenced by then-President Donald Trump’s plan to stage a Bible-toting photo opportunity at that spot.
The report released Wednesday by the Interior Department’s inspector general concludes that the protesters were cleared by U.S. Park Police on June 1, 2020, so that a contractor could get started installing new fencing.
And by the way, Biden supports abortion and gay marriage, which makes him a bad Catholic, not a devout one. His religion is for show. Only. Period. He shows no interest in adhering to Catholic doctrine nor morality, and he’ll shove the rosary beads he carries down your throat if you say that to him.
The absolute irony of your statement is that non-Catholic President Trump was the first sitting President to join the 2020 March for Life rally, stating, “… Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House”. Contrast that with “prayerfully devout” Catholic President Biden who has never attended a Right to Life rally and, even worse, has nominated federal judges who support statutes legalizing abortion on demand. Now, unborn children have no defender in the White House and, appallingly, no defenders in some bishops’ houses.
Biden carries rosaries? So Satan quoted God’s own Bible to him in order to do evil. What’s your point? There has never been done an evil without the evildoer first putting a halo on it.
Fidel castro wore religious medals for propaganda so biden would be far from the first to do this .
He may be devout, but he is not a devout Catholic; his stance on abortion proves that. Some rules one can’t just ignore. You can buck the Constitution ( as long as the media is your lapdog) but you can’t buck the laws of the Catholic church.
I guess Biden’s support of the killing of infants is a publicity stunt too?
He supports abortion and sterilizing children. He’s corrupt and owned by the Chinese Communist Party. Everything out of his mouth is a lie. His son is a crackhead who exploits children with his dad’s knowledge.
Try and keep ups sparky Trump with the Bible as a stunt has been debunked. Biden is NOT a Catholic in good standing. You can have your opinion but that does not make it a fact.
It was already determined by the DOJ that Trump did not clear the park.
As well Trump is not Catholic, however he practices the religion better than Biden. Biden supports abortion
He’s an awful, evil person, as is most of his family. We know the truth.
Ummm, the Park Service and an independent IG cleared Trump of the “trumped” up charges he cleared a park to hold a press conference in front of the church that DNC supported ANTIFA tried to burn to the ground.
Claims to be a prayful man have never been seen with the greed of his Life. Look at the actions of Biden when as VP he had a prosecutor investigating a company his son was a member ov the board fired. Stopping all corruption investigations into that company. And he was proud of using his position as VP to do so. It is all about greed and power. Granted others are using him for their agenda’s. But I do not see God in His life. I do not see integrity or honesty. Do you see Biden having Bible studies in the White House?
And did you read this week that the msm is totally backtracking on their lying accusation after it was proven that Pres. Trump had nothing to do with the clearing of the area around the White House. Police ordered that it be cleared so that barriers could be erected to protect the Church and the police because demonstrators had set fire to the Church the night before. Get your facts straight.
And what are real publicity stunts are Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi constantly telling the press and everyone that they are Catholic – they are not Catholics in good standing with the Church. “Devout” Catholics adhere to the tenets of their religion and practice their faith quietly, dutifully, and reverently without fanfare.
Former Vice President Joe Biden was denied communion Sunday at a Catholic church in South Carolina over his support for abortion rights.
Father Robert Morey, the pastor at Saint Anthony Catholic Church in Florence, told the Florence Morning News that he had denied Biden communion because “any public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching.”
So you know the Trump thing has already bee proven fake. The lying goes both ways it seems.
I’ll put a $50 over/under wager that the thumbs-down count on the above post surpasses 500.

The pope won’t give Holy Communion to a dissident Catholic and neither should a parish priest. Catholics publicly supporting grave sin should not expect any minister of the Church to join in their eucharistic sacrilege.
Oh yes the devout Roman Catholic Biden who supports abortion, LGBTQRXYZ rights, and the Left wing list could go on and on. Trump was more of a Roman Catholic than Biden is and Trump is not even Catholic YET!!!! Melania is still working on getting him converted along with Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano.
But figure this out? The same pope who won’t meet with Biden appointed Archbishop Gregory to the DC see. And he appointed scores of liberal bishops and cardinals. And he promotes Fr. James Martin. Doesn’t compute.
To wit, the mitered cleric of San Diego who has never met a recreant he didn’t like.
Archbishop Gregory, if you only knew. Can’t say much more because this post would not be seen here.

Some things are so obvious, no other words are needed.
I was too direct and my comment was not approved.
Yes, some thing are obvious. We all know.
If your job, such as President of the United States, “obliges” you, regardless of your occupation of the “bully pulpit”, to support an evil and a horror, quit.
Look at all the Fake Catholics and assorted trolls here defending Biden’s pro abortion stance. There will be hell to pay.
There is one.
TDS lately? Trump wasn’t perfect but he was the most Pro-Life POTUS we have ever had. Xiden sucks up to the Chinese Communist Party, bigly! What does the CCP do to Christians and Muslims?? Xiden is no Catholic he is a CINO and anyone that voted for that guy is just wrong….Biden has surrendered to the communists in the Democratic Party, do you know what communists do to Christians? If you are pro abortion you can attend mass just don’t take the sacraments!
The president needs to be publicly reprimanded by the pope, ASAP.
I voted for Biden and I’ll vote to reelect him beacuse I’m proud to have Catholic brother leading the world.
Any “devout” Catholic would never threaten to desecrate a holy rosary by shoving it down someone’s throat. I’m pretty sure the Blessed Mother said to pray it constantly, not use it in such a violent way. But then again, if you can aggressively advocate for the killing of the unborn nothing is off limits.
The Pope didn’t cancel communion for Biden, God did. He simply used the Pope to deliver the message.
Biden is a narcissist, a liar, a pro abortionist, a rapist, an adulterer, and worst of all, a dishonorable immoral soul.
Pope Francis knows it and won’t give him the opportunity to use the Catholic Church.
Hunter is that really you ? , your post was a moment of sober clarity .
For $500,000, I’ll tell you. Or sell you one of my paintings.
he pope was going to have none of that.
So Biden is a devout catholic? a person who supports with total conviction, abortion up until conception, LGBT rights as if it has some biblical pass in his mind. He supports The teaching of ungodly anti biblical marxist teachings in all schools. supports the removal of prayer in school. and has lied constantly about his accomplishments and credentials for the past 40yrs. That joe biden.
Look at how he treated Justice Thomas , add racist to the list.
What an incredibly delicious joke. Biden was scared off by the idea of “early morning” mass….”early morning “being the operative words. It’s doubtful that Biden can mobilize himself before noon. Besides, it’s beyond my comprehension why anyone would want to meet with either Biden or the Pope. They are both frauds.
Feeble Joe is a CINO (Catholic In Name Only) who sniffs young women, loves baby killing and committed sexual assault. He belongs in a prison cell instead of being near a Catholic Church receiving communion.
It’s not me saying Biden is Godless…
It’s the POPE!
Ah yes, devout Joe ‘prosclaiming the Palmist’ again….check YouTube for that comedy gold if you wonder whether or not he is ‘devout’. One thing’s for sure, You’ll come to understand the depths of his dementia.
biden = Satan, simple as that. Why would you want to meet with Satan if you were clergy
“More than 4,300 (Notre Dame) students and alumni signed a letter demanding that Joe Biden not be invited to the ceremony at all.
“We, the undersigned members of the Notre Dame community and others dismayed by the pro-abortion and anti-religious liberty agenda of President Joe Biden, having learned from your Crux interview that you are considering inviting President Biden to be Commencement speaker and, accordingly, recipient of an honorary degree, write to urge that you not do so,” says the letter, addressed to Father John Jenkins, the president of the University of Notre Dame, “
You can fool most of the people all the time, but you cant fool all the people all the time.
Whatever you want to say
It still is murder
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.”
Matthew 7:21
Maybe if you support Biden you should be denied communion.
Why is church so political now?
How about a seance? That’s safe.
Why has the Catholic Church chosen to ignore the Bible on the abortion issue??? It was not until after 1800 that this occurred. The Old Testament does have instructions on how to induce a miscarriage….that’s abortion folks.
That is not at all correct.
