They didn't want to broadcast the exchange of children as gifts.

All the priests were chanting Let’s Go Brandon

That needs to be the next Gregorian Chant album. “Let’s Go Brandon” sounds much classier in Latin.

VATICAN STIFFS BIDEN
Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on tomorrow’s meeting between the pope and the president:
Yesterday, I issued a statement saying the White House is out to milk the meeting between Pope Francis and President Biden. They need to. Biden is in trouble with the bishops at home—he adamantly rejects core Catholic moral teachings—and his administration was banking on posting pictures of the two men grinning and shaking hands. But now the Vatican has thrown a monkey wrench into this opportunistic gambit. The media have been mostly barred from covering the meeting.
The Vatican has said that there will be no live coverage of Biden greeting the pope. Nor will the media be allowed to cover the two men sitting down as they begin their conversation. In other words, the optics that the White House was counting on are dead in the water.
Usually, the media film an exchange of gifts between the pope and a head of state in the pope’s library; a recording of what they say is also provided. Not this time. Only select professionals, chosen by the Vatican, will be permitted.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki knows what this means and is not a happy camper. She chided the Vatican, saying, “We believe in the value of a free press.”
If the White House valued a free press, why does the president rarely hold a press conference? Why does he habitually duck the press when boarding a helicopter? Why does the vice president run from the press? Why, when they were running for office, did they refuse to do any of the Sunday talk shows? Why did Biden hide in his basement?
Kudos to the Vatican. They know when they are being used.

One can only hope that the lord thy God smites them and they burst into flames upon shaking hands.

You don't think they thought about that when they scheduled the meeting? The Pope has already weighed in and said it would be wrong to withhold communion from Biden based on his stance on abortion. Not like this is news to them.

What's the matter? Satan couldn't make it on-time?

They can't meet if he ain't there.

Oh, to be an insect sized drone recording this kerfuffle.
Maybe Francisco Franco (olde, olde Saturday Night Live reference) can join them.

Biden is Public Enemy#1 for the Catholic Church and his claim to be Catholic and top supporter of abortion.

Pope Francis might be a communist but if you've actually read his views on Catholic moral teaching, he is diametrically opposed to Biden in every way imaginable. The only thing they have in common are their views on social justice.

Being a devout Catholic that really struggles with our current Pope, I HOPE this have to do with Biden's stance on abortion.
He is so vocal on supporting abortion and I just can't see the Pope wanting to be sitting side by side with a Catholic that supports abortion.
At best, Francis would spout some word salad about respecting the dignity of every life, then immediately left turn into a lecture about how rich countries need to let in every poor person of the world.
