Jude Law won critical acclaim for his starring role in the hit TV series The Young Pope, but now his real-life counterpart is getting in on the act – Pope Francis has appeared in a feature film.
The 80-year-old Argentinian pontiff plays himself in the movie, which is called Beyond the Sun.
The producers claim that it is the first time in the history of the Roman Catholic Church that a Pope has agreed to play a cameo role in a film.
The religious-themed movie, in which four young children from different cultures try to follow the teachings of Christ, will be launched at the Cannes Film Festival, which starts on May 17.
Not only is the Pope in the film – he inspired it.
The Holy Father reportedly asked producers to come up with a film aimed at young people that could communicate the message of the Gospels.
“Our excitement and gratitude toward His Holiness, Pope Francis, participating in this film is beyond words,” said Andrea Iervolino, one of the co-founders of AMBI Pictures, the company which made the film. “This is not just a movie for us, it’s a message, and who better to have on your side to deliver an important societal and spiritual message than the Pope. We are honoured and inspired by the level of collaboration from the Vatican.”
Mr Iervolino, a committed Catholic, said he had been impressed by the Pope’s acting abilities. “He showed himself to be a very special Pope. You can understand why people love him so much,” he told Italy’s Corriere della Sera newspaper.
“The story aims to encourage people to live the word of Jesus, to live a better life, and to make good choices...”

Why not Pope face drink coasters and soccer balls..?
DIRTY DEVIL POPE.
The message of the Gospels isn’t about global warming, forced economic equality, or race baiting. If any of this crap is in the movie, it will be the last straw.
Jorge's movie role should be that of the False Prophet in the End Times - art imitates life.
In the course of only 3 days during September, 2015, Jorge was given an unprecedented audience to a Joint Session of Congress, a news conference in front of the White House with President Obama, and an address to the United Nations.
All of these were televised to a global audience.
Did he proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, even once?
No. Instead, he mocked and chastised true Christians, and spewed propaganda and lies on "climate change", "refugees", and "economic justice."
I think “Alien Covenant” would work better.
They love him because he says what they want to hear.
This latest movie stunt adds yet another repulsive episode to this repulsive egomaniac’s history.
He really is the Obama of the Catholic church.
First Pope to use a Port-a-Potty in front of a cheerying crowd.
First Pope to play himself in a movie.
What next? Guest hosting Saturday Night Live?
This will 'inspire' a LOT of FReeper Catholics; too.
But it will be in a negative way: by claiming he is not THEIR pope!
I see that my prediction is WELL underway in this thread!
The pope is a dope. (even worse he is Satan’s pawn)
And Jesus said in Matthew 7:23
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
And then I will confess to them, ‘I have never known you, remove yourselves far from me, you workers of evil.’
New International Version
Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
International Standard Version
Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who practice evil!’”
King James Bible
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

wickedness, sinfulness, immorality, impropriety; vice, evil, sin; villainy, criminality; odiousness, atrocity, egregiousness; outrage, monstrosity, obscenity, reprehensibility
The pope is a dope
Let me fix this.....
“THIS” pope is a dope.
Poorly worded headline....
“Pope Francis to Appear in Feature Film for First Time in Vatican History”
While accurate, it FAILS to import to the reader the real significance of the event, which is....
“The producers claim that it is ***the first time in the history of the Roman Catholic Church*** that a Pope has agreed to play a cameo role in a film.”
I thought these people were Urinalists!
“The 80-year-old Argentinian pontiff plays himself in the movie, which is called Beyond the Sun.”
I hope he doesn’t take Metformin.
And the mockery of the papacy continues....
Amen to that! A message to young people, huh.. the Castro.. Hitler model.
