VATICAN—President Joe Biden traveled to the Vatican to meet with Pope Francis Saturday prior to attending the G20 summit. For the 46th president of the United States, who has professed himself a Catholic, this would be his fourth time meeting the leader of his church, but the first since he took his position as the leader of the free world.
Press access, however, was not clearly defined in the run-up to the meeting, as only two days prior to the scheduled event, no details had been shared on timelines, and no availability was provided to journalists independent of the Catholic city-state to document the meeting.
