Following the presentation, Pope Leo XIV and Ambassador Burch spoke privately for about 20 minutes and a post from Ambassador Burch on X confirmed that the Pope is praying for Charlie Kirk's widow and children, marking a special closeness with the nation and the grieving family.
Today's meeting reaffirms the special relationship between the Holy See and the United States. They share a common mission: to defend the dignity of every human person, to safeguard religious freedom, and to seek peace rooted in truth.
Ambassador Burch knows this better than most. A father of nine and a man formed by his Catholic faith, he has long integrated his love for America with a bold witness to human dignity, religious freedom, and truth.
For his part, the Holy Father gave Ambassador Burch a beautiful book about the Apostolic Palace, which will be displayed for visitors at Villa Richardson, the Ambassador's residence.
Please join CatholicVote in praying for the collaboration between the Ambassador and the Pope in the years ahead.
Go forward bravely,
