Biden won't be at Benedict XVI's funeral 'in line with the wishes of the late pope and the Vatican'

In light of the passing of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, many were wondering if President Joe Biden would be traveling to the Vatican for the funeral. After all, President Biden is a devout Catholic. The most devout, most Catholic of devout Catholics.

Oddly enough, at yesterday’s White House press briefing, Karine Jean-Pierre said that Biden would not be going to Pope Benedict’s funeral — in accordance with the Vatican’s wishes:

Huh.

Jean-Pierre’s pronunciation of “emeritus” is very interesting, isn’t it? She makes it sound like a disease. “I’ve got a scorching case of emeritis!”

Anyway, wonder why Pope Benedict and the Vatican requested that he send the U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See instead of Joe Biden.

So weird, right?

Guess we’re really left with no choice but to speculate on why Biden’s presence at the funeral has not been requested and will apparently not be needed.

It could be because of any or all of the above.

Update:

For what it’s worth, here’s Biden’s own explanation for his absence at the funeral (if you’re able to make it out over all the ambient noise):
