The Vatican offered no explanation for canceling the live feed of Joe Biden's meeting with Pope Francis
on Friday, instead limiting coverage of the event to the arrival of Biden's motorcade at the Apostolic Palace, the Associated Press reported.
Though Biden has met Francis three times before, this will be their first encounter with Biden as president, AP reported. Viewers won't be able to watch live when Biden greets Francis in the palace Throne Room, or when they sit down in Francis' library to commence their private meeting, when live coverage would typically stop.
Francis has strongly upheld the church's opposition to abortion, calling it"murder." But he has said bishops should be pastors, not politicians.
