Or he might actually meet in private.
Either way, the misinformation on this has been unlike anything i have ever seen before.
He wasn't invited, he was invited, he won't speak, he will speak, he invited himself and he will be a party crasher, he won't meet the pope in a public setting, he will meet the pope in a public setting etc etc.
