Tests of Disgenelo on the immigration dossier between the USA and the Vatican.
The US vice -president JD Vance, visiting Rome where he was received by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, met the Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin.
A meeting that took place a few hours before the announcement by Putin of the Easter trucein a very friendly climate and during which, probably, one tried to lay the foundations to find a meeting point on the delicate question of the management of migrants, who had immediately opened a furrow between Washington and the Vatican. Vance, who arrived at the Apostolic Palace with the family, his wife and the three children, instead did not see Pope Francis.
The meeting had never been officially announced by the White House or by the Holy See. But until the last had been leaked the indiscretion of a possible greeting with the pontiff, who then did not realize. Francesco is in convalescence at Casa Santa Marta even if in these days some tears to the rule has still done so, from the greeting to Carlo and Camilla to Holy Thursday with the prisoners of Regina Coeli, up to the blitz, this afternoon, in the Basilica of San Pietro.
Ansa agency Easter, the waking in San Pietro, the Pope goes to pray – Vatican News – Ansa.it Bergoglio would like to be at the Blessing Urbi et Orbi (ANSA) Vance arrived a bit before 10 in an armored Vatican with a massive presence of law enforcement agencies. About forty the means of the procession that from via della Conciliation entered the Apostolic Palace. The vice -president came for a comparison in the Vatican after the pope’s letter of 11 February, to all the bishops of the United States. A sort of ‘call to arms’ against migratory policies decided by Trump. “Do not give in to narratives that discriminate and create suffering”, asked the Pope to his bishops, criticized in a close tour by the men of the White House. And the migrants were today on the comparison table with Parolin, together with the complex international situation dotted with conflicts, from Ukraine to the Middle East, on which the United States can play a decisive role.
The Vatican, apart from the short press release, at the end of the meeting also distributed the photos to the international press and in all a stretched, friendly climate, with large smiles. Perhaps a sign of the will of a dialogue. After a couple of hours, Vance left the Vatican for a couple of more tourist events. In these days on the other hand, he has shown how fascinated by the eternal city he was. I stopped the formal clothes of the Vatican meeting, where even the little ones were dressed in the jacket, the Vance family chose more casual clothing to visit the botanical garden in Trastevere. A breath of oxygen perhaps for the three children who had been seen bored and intolerant yesterday in the long celebration of the passion in the Vatican Basilica.
Then in the afternoon the visit to the monument symbol of Rome: the Colosseum, which however participated only the second lady Usha while the US vice -president would remain at Villa Taverna, headquarters of the US ambassador to Italy. In front of the Colosseum there was some protests from some tourists who, despite having purchased the ticket, had been left out. From the Ministry of Culture it is learned that those who had the ticket will be refunded and that the decision to close the Colosseum was taken by the security authorities.
Also in the morning the whole area of the Vatican, starting from St. Peter’s Square, had been ‘frozen’. But the total block lasted just over half an hour and the people remained calm behind the barriers before resuming the pilgrimage to the Holy Door. The Roman stage of the US vice -president will end tomorrow. Among the appointments should be, if they are confirmed, the Easter Mass in the Basilica of San Paolo outside the walls and then a visit to Villa Adriana in Tivoli. Then the greeting to Italy to begin the second stage of the international journey in India.
