Pope Francis and US presidents: A look back at his legacy with the nation's leaders

Pope Francis and US presidents: A look back at his legacy with the nation's leaders

Fox News
Monday, April 21, 2025 6:44 PM GMT

Pope Francis met with Presidents Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden during his time leading the Catholic Church.

The College of Cardinals elected Pope Francis, 88, to serve as the pope following Pope Benedict XVI in March 2013. His election marked the first time a non-European served as pope in more than 1,000 years. Pope Francis, born with the name Jorge Mario Bergoglio, originally hailed from Argentina.  Diana Stancy is a politics reporter with Fox News Digital covering the White House. 

Pope Francis, who was hospitalized in February due to complications stemming from bronchitis and pneumonia, died Monday at the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta. 

Vice President JD Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, met with Pope Francis on Sunday in one of the reception rooms of the Vatican hotel just hours before the pope’s death. Vance acknowledged the visit in a post on X Monday while expressing his condolences to Christians who loved the pope, and shared a link to the transcript of one of the pope’s 2020 homilies.
