The American Presidency Administration said in a recent news release: “The President looks forward to discussing with Pope Francis their shared commitment to fighting poverty and growing inequality.”
Obama will meet also at Rome with Italy’s Prime Minister and President.
The American President manifested previously a special approach to principles which Pope Francis tries to implement in the Catholic Church. “Across the developed world, inequality has increased. Some of you may have seen just during last week, the Pope himself spoke about this at eloquent lenght” said Obama in December. “I haven’t had a chance to meet him yet. But everything that I’ve read, everything that I’ve seen from him, indicates the degree to, to which he is trying to remind us of those core obligations” said the president in another occasion.
