President George W. Bush met with Cardinal Rigali, Archbishop of Philadelphia, this afternoon in Philadelphia. The president had requested the meeting.
The archdiocese released a statement saying that the meeting, which took place at Saint Joseph Parish, Downington, Chester County, “was private,” and therefore “the Archdiocese will not be issuing any additional statement regarding the meeting.”
The statement also notes that “Cardinal Rigali had indicated his willingness to meet with both presidential candidates.”
