VATICAN CITY - U.S. Vice-President Joseph Biden, a pro-choice Roman Catholic, has met with Pope Benedict XVI in an unannounced visit at the Vatican.
Vatican officials said the meeting Friday was strictly private; U.S. officials declined to give details.
Biden, who was in Rome to mark Italy's 150th anniversary as a unified nation, is an observant Catholic who nevertheless supports abortion rights. Benedict has long insisted that Catholic politicians follow church teaching on such "nonnegotiable" issues as abortion, which the Vatican strongly opposes.
Some U.S. bishops have said priests should refuse to give Communion to politicians who support abortion.
