ROME - An emotional U.S. President Joe Biden, who has come away from his visit with papal backing in his conflict with conservative U.S. bishops, on Sunday praised Pope Francis for being "everything I admire about Catholicism."
Conservative U.S. bishops want to deny Biden the right to receive communion, the central sacrament of the faith, because of Biden's support for abortion rights. "He is everything I admire about Catholicism from the time I was a kid going from grade school through high school," Biden said. Biden did just that when he went to Mass the next evening at St. Patrick's, the English-language church of the American Catholic community in Rome.
