They remember what happened the last time the je-suit-pope met the two-suit-poop.

As we reported, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI died on Dec. 31.
Normally, for the death of such a world leader, you would have the President in attendance at the funeral. So reporters asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre if Joe Biden would be going. The answer was more than a little embarrassing for the White House.

Jean-Pierre mispronounced “Emeritus,” making it sound like an infection. Someone has to help her with how to pronounce what it is she’s trying to say, as it appears to be a continuing problem. When you’re supposed to be the Press Secretary, that’s a bit of an issue.
But that wasn’t the worst part for the White House, the worst part was she had to admit that Biden wasn’t invited to represent the United States at the funeral.
“He will always remember the Pope’s generosity and meaningful conversation they had when he visited the Vatican in 2011,” Jean-Pierre said. “The U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See, Joe Donnelly, will represent the United States at the funeral of the Pope, in line with the wishes of the late Pope and the Vatican. This is what…this is what their requests were. This is what their wishes were.”
If that wasn’t evident or bad enough, then Biden himself essentially confirmed he was left out, with his snippy response.
“You're not attending [Pope Benedict’s] funeral tomorrow… Why?"
BIDEN: "Well, why do you think?
“You tell me!”

“You’re not attending [Pope Benedict’s] funeral tomorrow… Why?” a reporter asked. “Well, why do you think?” Biden responded. “You tell me!” the reporter replied. “You know why,” Biden said. It’s hard to decipher what he says after that but I think he ends it by saying that they would get “in the way.” But Joe Donnelly isn’t getting in the way? Why Donnelly rather than Biden?
Translation: They didn’t want Biden there and even Biden gets it, hence the “You know why” response.
The first “Catholic” since John F. Kennedy was in office, but a rabid supporter of abortion, something that both the Vatican and Pope Benedict himself wouldn’t approve of. Italian and German leaders were invited, and other leaders are attending in their private capacity. But Benedict likely didn’t want to validate Biden’s bad positions by having him there at his funeral.
There will only be 2 official state delegations at the funeral, Italy and Germany.
I don’t really get why they don’t want Biden at the funeral. It’s not like the Pope is so conservative or anything, unless it’s because they don’t want the hassle of the additional security risk and the hoopla.
The Vatican saw ancient Joe and his wife/nurse disrupt the Queen’s funeral by staggering in a half hour late.
That is the right answer, it wasn’t he was told to stay home, they only wanted 2 countries represented.
No Sh*t.
My guess: Francis in an act of pure pettiness wants to deny Benedict the honor of a US President attending his funeral.
It would be tacky to have all those air fresheners on the chairs around where the Potato would sit.

She probably says Urine-ness, divissive and harris-mint, too.
He and his 'crew' (aka 'entourage' of bootlicking hangers on, living VERY WELL, courtesy of Canadian taxpayers) will fly in a GouvFedCan jet (or two or three) and find the priciest accommodations in Roma. While in Rome, at the fanciest hotel, the Prime Mistake will belt out a vile rendition of Queen's 'Another One Bites The Dust', like his stupidity at Queen Elizabeth's funeral.
“My guess: Francis in an act of pure pettiness wants to deny Benedict the honor of a US President attending his funeral.”
^^^ THIS.
I’ll bet the same dictum went out to Macron, King Charles et al. In his pettiness, Bergoglio wants to downplay his successor so he is telling the world’s big shots to stay away.
Pope Benedict would want him there.
BIDEN: “Well, why do you think?
“You tell me!”
Because they think your Depends will leak and you’ll leave sh1t all over the floor.
Pope Benedict was very conservative. I’m assuming it’s HIS wish not to have Joke there, or any pro-abort American politician.
The other pedos present wont want the competition.
Pope Benedict would want him there.

Biden? Are you sure?
Wasn’t biden VP when this pope was ousted. I mean “retired”.
Even though it came through the Vatican press office, This would be Benedict’s wishes, not Bergoglio’s. .
