Investing.com -- Former U.S. President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden are set to attend the funeral of Pope Francis this Saturday, according to Biden’s spokesperson, Kelly Scully.

Biden, who has been a devout Catholic throughout his life, has had the honor of meeting Pope Francis on numerous occasions. Before concluding his term as President, Biden conferred upon Pope Francis the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom in January. The Medal of Freedom is one of the highest civilian awards in the United States, and it was given to the Pope just before Biden’s departure from the White House.

The funeral is expected to draw a significant number of attendees from around the world, with the Bidens representing the United States.
