Biden’s Visit to the Vatican
In the days of John F. Kennedy, the Democrats emphasized their political distance from the pope. Kennedy promised Americans that he would never let the pope influence him on “matters of public policy.” How times have changed. Today’s Democrats boast of their political alliance with Pope Francis.

But I wonder how he wrong he was. It is already difficult to recall the atmosphere of breathless importance that surrounded this past
