I reported how Pope Leo XIV greeted Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio after the Pope's inaugural Mass on Sunday. It was also interesting to see the Pope's brother sitting right next to Vance and his wife in the American delegation during the mass. Lou Prevost is a big Trump supporter and a fan of Vance, so that must have been fun. //

But the media was at it again, spinning away about the greeting. Check out this headline from The Daily Beast, painting the greeting as a "snub" on Sunday. //

I love how Louis Prevost, the Pope’s brother, is now part of the US government delegation headed up by VP JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, having an audience with His Holiness Pope Leo XIV
