At the Vatican this week, Pope Francis will host a number of international artists interested in promoting the common good. Many are not Catholic, but share the same values of the Church.

President, Vitae Foundation
We are going to have Denzel Washington, Andrea Bocelli, Hayley Adwell, David and Jessica Oyelowo, J Balvin, Alessia Cara... These are the ones I remember now, but there are 25 in total.
They have been invited by the Vitae Foundation, which aims to spread values of creativity, integrity, and leadership through the arts and the mainstream media. They face an ambitious challenge.

How can we help change this situation of so much polarization, negative messages, and conflicts that we are seeing in the world? Perhaps we've lost a little bit of the ability to dialogue with different people and to reach an agreement to make a better world among all of us.
Luis Quinelli, the president of the Vitae Foundation believes that this dialogue between artists and the Pope will be enriching.
LUIS QUINELLI
President, Vitae Foundation
It's going to be interesting because we're not only going to have words of inspiration from Pope Francis. But we are going to have a conversation, where he is going to be listening to us. He is going to give his opinions and together, we will arrive at conclusions that we will share with the public.
The first Vitae Summit at the Vatican will be followed by other meetings of artists who are doing their part to create a better world.
