Giorgia Meloni’s administration has appointed a special envoy dedicated to ‘ensure that religious freedom can be everywhere.’
According to the Vatican, the discussion focused on the country’s top social issues and included international topics.
The Holy Father offered a prayer for Italy on Sunday as Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni became the country’s first female leader.
As the leader of a party that originates from a postwar movement born from the ashes of fascism, Meloni can neither be called a post-fascist nor simply a far-right leader.
Meloni has described herself in speeches as a Christian and has publicly expressed her admiration for Pope St. John Paul II.
