Obama arrived on an overcast morning at the Vatican's ornate grounds. After a slow procession, he was introduced to Pope Francis and the two shook hands. Obama said at the start of the meeting that it was wonderful to meet with the Pope describing the visit as a great honour. Obama is accompanied at the Vatican by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and other top officials. The President is the ninth president to make an official visit to the Vatican.
