The Vatican has abruptly canceled the planned live broadcast of President Joe Biden’s meeting with Pope Francis. The Vatican press office provided no explanation for why the live broadcast of Biden’s visit had been trimmed to just the arrival of his motorcade in the courtyard of the Apostolic Palace. Cancelled was the live coverage of Biden, the second Catholic U.S. president, actually greeting Francis and the two men starting their private talks. The audience was being closely monitored since U.S. bishops are due to meet in a few weeks for their annual fall convention. One of the agenda items inspired by conservatives who contend that Biden’s support for abortion rights should disqualify him from receiving Communion.

Vatican axes coverage of Biden meeting with Pope Francis
The Vatican’s press office on Thursday canceled plans to broadcast livestream video of President Biden meeting on Friday with Pope Francis and now will only broadcast the arrival of Biden’s motorcade.
It’s unclear if the White House requested that the broadcast be curtailed. Spokespeople did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
The Associated Press reports that the Vatican for years has streamed video of the pope’s meetings with visiting leaders.
Biden is the second Catholic president and has met with Pope Francis on three previous occasions, though not as president. The visit follows a meeting this month between Francis and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
The pope, 84, has dismissed a push by more conservative US bishops to deny Communion to Catholic politicians who support legal access to abortion, such as Pelosi and Biden. The US bishops will meet next month to discuss the idea.
