With Joe Biden in the White House, the Vatican will be dealing with the first Catholic U.S. President since John F. Kennedy, which is presenting unique headaches for the Holy See.

Biden may be Catholic, but he is pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, and pro-transgender rights, putting him at odds with the U.S. bishops, who have set up a task force for dealing with the new president.

Questions have been raised about how a meeting between Pope Francis and Biden might play out – and whether the pontiff will take a hard line with the president on life issues.
