Leonardo DiCaprio greeted\u00a0the Pope in perfect Italian. \t<\/p>\n
'Your Holiness. Thank you for this private audience.' \t<\/em><\/p>\n An excited Pope asked the actor to take a seat...in English. \t <\/p>\n 'Sit down, please.' \t<\/em> <\/p>\n They had a longer conversation with a translator present. The actor is deeply involved in the environmental activism movement, which the Pope has become a key figure in since the publication of 'Laudato Si.' \t<\/p>\n After their conversation, DiCaprio introduced the Pope to his father. The actor gave the Pope a book with pictures from the 15th century Flemish artist Bosch. He explained what the images meant to him. \t<\/p>\n 'They were hanging above my crib when I was a young boy. My father put it there and as child I didn't quite understand what it all meant. But through my childish eyes, it represents our planet, the utopia that we've been given.'<\/em> <\/p>\n He also gave the Pope a donation for environmental causes. The Pope in return gave him two of the most important texts of his pontificate. \t<\/p>\n 'This is the 'Evangelii Gaudium' and the 'Laudato Si,' about the care of Creation.'<\/em><\/p>\n 'Thank you, thank you. Grazie.' \t<\/em><\/p>\n 'And pray for me, don't forget.' \t <\/em><\/p>\n 'I will. Thank you.' <\/em>\t <\/p>\n As the actor was leaving, the Pope repeated his request. And DiCaprio responded, again, that he wouldn't forget. \t<\/p>\n 'And pray for me, don't forget.' <\/em><\/p>\n 'I will. Thank you.' \t<\/em><\/p>\n 'God bless you.' <\/em><\/p>\n 'God bless you'<\/em><\/p>\n \t \t \t\t \t \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" January 28, 2016.
