After the meeting, Biden spoke to reporters at the Roman Palazzo Chigi, where he was scheduled to meet Italy’s prime minister. A reporter asked if the issue of abortion had come up during his meeting with Francis. Biden replied, “No, it didn’t. We just talked about the fact he was happy that I was a good Catholic, and I should keep receiving Communion.”
Then, Biden was asked again, whether Francis said he should continue receiving communion and Biden said “Yes." Subsequently, Biden was asked whether he had received Communion that Friday and he said "No."
Finally, he was asked, if he discussed with Francis the U.S. bishops’ conference. Biden hesitated and said it was a “private conversation.”
