WASHINGTON: US Presi-dent Joe Biden on Thursday visited the Vatican embassy in Washington and signed a book of condolences for former pope Benedict XVI who died over the weekend, reports AFP.
Together with Roman Catholics across the United States, I join in mourning the passing of Pope Emeritus Benedict, Biden wrote, according to the White House.
I will always cherish our time together at the Vatican when he was Pope discussing Catholic theology, Biden added in his note. He was a great theologian and I learned much in a few hours.
