President Donald Trump is meeting Pope Francis for the first time.
The president, accompanied by his wife and several aides, arrived at the Vatican just after 8 a.m. local time. The president greeted Francis in Sala del Tronetto, the room of the little throne, on the second floor of Apostolic Palace Wednesday morning.
The men shook hands and Trump could be heard thanking the pope and saying it was “a great honour” to be there. They then posed for photographs before a private meeting.

Jeg så en del av besøket (noen jeg sjelden har gjort før, det var mer pompøst og høyttidelig enn jeg hadde regnet med, spesielt før og etter de besøkende treffer paven), der bl.a. erkebiskop Georg Gänsweins viktige rolle er ganske synlig.
