"JD Vance plans to attend big event with pope, who blasted him on social media."
JD Vance is headed back to Rome this weekend to attend Pope Leo XIV’s inaugural mass, according to a Bloomberg report.
This will be Vance’s second trip to the Vatican in two months. Last month, he visited Pope Francis on Easter weekend, before the pontiff died on Easter Monday. Conspiracy theorists and jokesters alike swelled the digital world with the idea that Vance’s meeting killed the pope. However, Francis was hospitalized before his death.
Vance is the highest-ranking Catholic in the U.S. Government, followed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Both men are expected to attend the event with their wives. The vice president converted to Catholicism in 2019.
The mass is to be held in St. Peter’s Square, where Leo, the first pope born in the U.S., will be formally given his position. (Continued)
