He had a campaign advisor who was leading a religious conference at Vatican City get him an invitation to the conference, not a meeting with the Pope. Then he stalked the Pope for a handshake, waiting in the wee hours of the morning in the hallway of the Pope's apartment. The Pope obliged him as a "courtesy" but refused pictures.
