Asked about the US communion debate last month, the Pope told reporters that abortion is 'murder.'

The President's motorcade approached under tight security, made even more intense because the Italian capital is simultaneously preparing to host the G20 summit of world leaders this weekend.

"Thank you so much. It's good to be back," Biden told one of the officials on the receiving line in the courtyard. He then joked with another official who was talking to his wife."I'm Jill's husband," Biden said. His most ardent critics in the US Church hierarchy have said Biden, a Democrat, should be banned from receiving communion, the central sacrament of the faith, and doubled down ahead of the meeting.

"They have, in fact, contributed in a significant way to the consolidation of a culture of death in the United States, in which procured abortion is simply a fact of daily life," Burke said.
