In this photo provided by the Vatican paper L'Osservatore Romano, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, top center, talks to Vatican Secretary of State Archbishop Pietro Parolin, at the Vatican Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2014. Intrigued by signals of an invigorated papal diplomacy, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry enlisted a new ally Tuesday in his push for Mideast peace in what he described as a "common enterprise" between America and the Holy See. In a brief visit to the Vatican, Kerry did not meet with Pope Francis, and said he had not expected to. However, he described a broad conversation with the pope's chief diplomat, Archbishop Pietro Parolin, that touched on everything ranging from violence in Syria and Africa to ending a generations-long feud between Israel and Palestine and addressing climate change and poverty.
