Pope Lion XIV called the church to unity, promised not to be autocrat
The Vatican did not immediately respond to a request for a comment on the invitation.
The Vatican’s official announcement confirmed that Vance and Leo had met, but without indicating details of their conversation. According to a Vance spokesman, the two had a four -eyed meeting before they joined the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is also a Catholic.
