Vice President J. D. Vens met with Pope Francis in the Vatican on Easter Sunday, said the Vice -President's press at a rare meeting after two men held dissolved sharply over immigration And Trump administration plans for migrants deportation.
Francis made concern for the migrants of his papacy, and his progressive views on social justice issues often put it with members of a more conservative Catholic Church.
Francis also changed the church's teaching to say that the punishment of capital is unacceptable in all cases.
Meanwhile, Vnes defended the repression of the administration in America, citing the concept of medieval Catholic theology known in Latin as “Orda of Amoris”. He said that the concept outlined the hierarchy of assistance – first the family, and behind it a neighbor, community, compatriots and, finally, those elsewhere.
In a letter on February 10, Francis seemed to correct Ven's understanding of this concept.
“Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that are gradually spreading to other persons and groups,” he wrote. “The true Horde of Amoris, which needs to be promoted, is what we find, constantly reflecting on the parable of the” good Samaritan “, that is, reflecting on the love that creates a brotherhood open to everyone without exception.”
Haens is recognized the criticism of Francis But he said he would continue to defend his views. During his speech on February 28, at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, Vnes did not address this issue specifically, but called himself a “children's Catholic” and admitted that there is “things about a faith that I do not know.”

“There was an exchange of views on the international situation, especially against the countries affected by war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations, with particular attention to migrants, refugees and prisoners,” the statement reads. “Finally, Hope was expressed for calm cooperation between the state and the Catholic Church in the US, whose valuable service was recognized for the most vulnerable people.”
