Pope's diplomatic skills tested in meeting with Argentine president Kirchner
Pope Francis’ diplomatic skills are being tested in his first audience with a visiting head of state - Argentine president Cristina Kirchner, with whom he clashed over her socially liberal policies.
Ms Kirchner will call on the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires at his temporary home in the Vatican hotel on the edge of the Vatican gardens, a day before she and other world leaders attend his installation Mass in St Peter’s Square.
