In a historic moment for the Catholic Church, Vice President JD Vance and First Lady Usha had the opportunity to meet Pope Leo XIV during his inauguration mass held in the majestic St. Peter’s Basilica on Sunday. This event marks a significant chapter as Pope Leo XIV is recognized as the first American Pope.

Having embraced Catholicism in 2019, Vice President Vance’s faith has played a significant role in his public life. His presence at this momentous occasion emphasizes the intertwining of personal belief and political duty.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his wife also participated in the U.S. delegation to the inaugural mass, further emphasizing the political significance of this religious milestone.

Notably, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who does not identify as Catholic, was also present at the event. His attendance is particularly interesting given his previous interactions with Vance during a contentious visit to the White House.

Interestingly, Zelenskyy opted for a casual attire once again, eschewing the formal suit expected at such an occasion, which has sparked discussions about the appropriateness of his choices in high-profile settings.

In a poignant moment, Daily Wire writer Mary Margaret Olahan observed that Vice President Vance appeared to don a Vatican tie, a gift from Pope Francis, just a day before the late pontiff’s passing. This detail adds a layer of emotional resonance to the event.
