Pope Ghosts JD Vance at Vatican, Sends Top Cardinal to Lecture VP on
Compassion
Vice President JD Vance flew to Rome hoping to meet with Pope Francis.
Instead, the Pope skipped the meeting entirely--and sent his top
cardinal to deliver a pointed message about compassion and care for
the vulnerable.
Vance was greeted not by the pontiff, but by Cardinal Pietro Parolin,
the Vatican's Secretary of State. In a statement, the Vatican said the
meeting covered global conflicts, political unrest, and "difficult
humanitarian situations," with a clear focus on "migrants, refugees,
and prisoners."
The conversation sounded more like a lecture than a diplomatic
exchange. And the Pope's absence was hard to ignore.
