The pontiff has shortlisted Hollywood heavy-hitters for a special meeting at the Vatican this fall. The topic? Improving the church's portrayal in Western entertainment.
Ari Emanuel might soon get a chance to hug it out with the pope.
Sources say the William Morris Endeavor superagent and his co-CEO Patrick Whitesell are on a shortlist of media players whom reps for Pope Francis have approached for a special meeting at the Vatican this fall.
The pontiff apparently is interested in discussing how the church is perceived by Western media influencers and ways to improve its portrayal in entertainment. The Vatican, which is said to be working with the nonprofit Varkey Foundation, came up with a list of Hollywood players to invite to a summit of sorts.

Hey Catholics, your Pope is off the rails.
The guy’s a screwball, period.
No Mel Gibson, who is one of the, if not the, most famous Catholics in Hollywood?
And so. With this, the Pope has removed all doubt about his sanity and sanctity with religion as a good force.
If I were actually a Catholic right now, I’d be sorely pissed.
The conversation will be "We will look the other way while you continue your attempts to reconfigure society according your views".
The pope can do that better by getting back to addressing only faith and morals, cleaning out the evils hiding inside the catholic clergy, and stopping trying to look like an Obama campaign manager.

St. Paul wrote, in Galations 1:10: “... am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.”
Thought question: what do you think Big O and Ari will demand as quid pro quo?
Dangerous, slippery slope Pope Francis is venturing onto. But then, from this one, we’re used to that.
This Pope is not even credible. He appears to be a servant to the anti Christ.
Scary stuff.
Francis is the Catholic Obama.
Well, as a long suffering Episcopalian...I was, a few years ago..considering swimming the Tiber...now...I’m glad I didn’t..so I’ll just continue to suffer..but enjoy the fellowship of my other parishioners..
Another FAIL!
the Catholic Church has been losing members for years...
....so Francis devises ways to lose them quicker....
way to go.
I miss Pius XII
Trying to get Hollywood to like you is a fool’s errand.
Unless you are willing to embrace the gay agenda.
Francis might be just the fool to do that.
(FOR STARTERS)
Pope Francis Invites Oprah, Ari Emanuel + Rahm Emanuel + Matt Damon + David Geffen to the Vatican.
Given that he doesn’t watch TV and only spends 10 minutes daily reading a newspaper, how does he even know of these people?
Francis and his love affair with fellow leftists. Pro-abort, pro-queer-loving leftists. When will James Woods, Jon Voigt, Kevin Sorbo and Mel Gibson be invited for a sit down with the Pope? When hell freezes over.
Maybe he will invite Tom Cruise to jump on his couch like Tom did on Oprah.
BTW, if the Pope thinks Oprah is still a big deal, he must be reading old People magazines in Doctor's waiting rooms.

Good question! Maybe they all have a membership in some New World Order group.
Could he possibly have two posts and a lot of kindling stacked up and waiting for them?
