Pope Francis met with Vice President JD Vance on April 20, the day before he died. Here's what we know about the meeting and what was said.

On Easter Sunday, the Vatican held a meeting with Vice President JD Vance, but Pope Francis was reportedly not in attendance. Instead, the VP met with the Vatican's secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and its foreign minister, Archbishop Paul Gallagher.

On JD Vance’s final morning in Rome, the headlines that the pope had snubbed him were already a day old. Donald Trump’s vice president had come on the busiest weekend of the church’s Jubilee year, expecting a meeting with a sickly pope who had already condemned his policies.
