In Sign of a Stronger Bond, Kerry Visits Vatican
posted on January 15, 2014Matt Viser of The Boston Globe reports, “Secretary of State John Kerry, whose political career has at times put him publicly at odds with Catholic Church leadership, traveled on Tuesday to the Vatican in a visit that demonstrated a reinvigorated relationship between the world’s most powerful country and one of its most powerful institutions.” After his visit, Kerry told reporters, “As an altar boy, as a young kid, I would never have imagined that I would have been crossing the threshold of the Vatican to meet, as secretary of state, with the secretary of state of the Holy See.”
