"This is a man who has great empathy. A man who understands that part of his Christianity is to reach out," Biden said. "He is a really, truly genuine decent man." The same bishops, some of whom supported Biden's predecessor Donald Trump, have clashed with the pope on issues including climate change, the death penalty and nuclear weapons.
"He is everything I admire about Catholicism from the time I was a kid going from grade school through high school," Biden said.
