Vice President JD Vance shared reflections on his visit to the Vatican in April 2025. He met with Vatican diplomats and Pope Francis shortly before the Pope’s passing. Vance described his encounters with Vatican officials as ‘unsettling,’ noting their reliance on ‘trite platitudes’ and ‘clichés.’
In contrast, Vance expressed appreciation for Pope Francis’s direct approach during their discussions. He valued the straightforward feedback from the Pope over the general statements made by other Vatican representatives. The meeting took place in Rome, marking a significant moment in his international engagements.
