Popes and Presidents Shaping History: The Vatican and the White House | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The relationship between the White House and the Vatican has evolved through the years, with several U.S. presidents forming significant connections with Popes. Some, like President Reagan and Pope John Paul II, shared a particularly close bond, as detailed in Dr. Paul Kengor’s book "A Pope and a President". While past presidents have fostered strong ties with the Holy See, others, like President Trump and Pope Francis, have experienced moments of tension, despite a positive meeting in 2017. The Vatican’s interactions with U.S. leaders date back to FDR’s administration, which had ties to the young Kennedy family, and Pope Paul VI engaged with multiple presidents during his time. Dr. Paul Kengor joins to explore these connections and their impact on global affairs. Don't miss out on the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
