Pope Leo Wants to Meet the Best Chris

by

Pope Leo has been enjoying his role as head of the Catholic Church for over six months now, and he’s starting to embrace the opportunities that come with it. On November 15th, he’ll welcome a group of famous actors to the Vatican, including Cate Blanchett, Monica Bellucci, Adam Scott, Dave Franco, Alison Brie, and Viggo Mortensen, along with Chris Pine. He’s also scheduled to meet several acclaimed directors like Spike Lee, George Miller, and Gus Van Sant, and Dennis Lim, the artistic director of the New York Film Festival. While Pope Leo has already met celebrities such as Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, he seems eager to connect with even more figures from the world of film.

It’s normal for a pope to want to meet famous Catholics, or even celebrities who work in similar fields – like when Pope Francis met with several comedians. But the celebrities Pope Leo wants to meet seem completely chosen at random. This unusual list raises a lot of questions: Has Pope Leo seen the film Tár? Did he believe Mad Max: Fury Road deserved to win Best Picture instead of Spotlight, considering the latter’s topic? And does Pope Leo have an opinion on the controversial decision made by Mark S. at the end of season two of Severance?

The Pope has expressed a desire to connect with people in the film industry to foster a greater understanding between the Church and the world of cinema. He believes that artistic expression can help promote important values and further the Church’s mission. Recently, on November 10th, the Pope personally shared his four favorite films: the classic It’s a Wonderful Life, the musical The Sound of Music (featuring a nun, naturally!), the heartwarming Life Is Beautiful, and the more subtle Ordinary People, which is set in his hometown of Chicago. Beyond simply revealing his taste in movies, the Pope is also planning to meet with a number of celebrities. Could a future appearance at the Golden Globes be next?
