Vice President JD Vance and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Pope Leo XIV Monday, a day after the pope's Inauguration Mass of his pontificate.
In a photo of the encounter released by the Vatican, Vance appears to have given the pontiff a Chicago Bears jersey with 'Pope Leo XIV' printed on the back.
Pope Leo XIV, history’s first American pope, has vowed to work for unity so that the Catholic Church becomes a sign of peace in the world.
