Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with Vice President J.D. Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement.

Inside Vatican sources told Sky News that Vance did briefly meet with the Pope at his residence, but no details of their conversation have been made public.

JD Vance met with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, but the Pope was not in attendance.

Pope Francis has repeatedly rebuked the president’s mass deportation effort, calling it a “disgrace” and a “grave sin.”.

Without mentioning the VP by name, the Pope corrected a Catholic concept Vance had invoked to defend the administration’s deportations, ordo amoris (order of love).

He and his wife, Usha Vance, were in attendance at the Vatican’s Good Friday service, Politico reported.

Editor’s note: This story has been updated to make clear that the Pope did not snub J.D. Vance. »
