”With distinction” is a rare honour… Trump did not give it to anyone during his 1st administration… Obama only gave it to Biden… Bush 43 only gave it to Pope John Paul II… Clinton only gave it to General Colin Powell… Bush 41 only gave it to Reagan… Reagan only gave it to Caspar Weinberger… Carter didn’t give it to anyone… Nixon only gave it to the Apollo 11 crew…Pope Francis was awarded the US Medal of Freedom by President Biden on January 11th ,the current US President telephoned the Pope in person to tell him the news!
Pope Francis had a fall at the Casa Santa Marta on Thursday morning but thankfully no fractures.
