"He's a good guy. … I was very, very happy to meet him," the "Taxi Driver" actor told CNN afterward. "My grandson, who died of an overdose a little over two years ago, his name was Leo. So my daughter gave him his card and it was just a nice moment, very special."

De Niro's daughter, Drena, opened up in a Nov. 9 Instagram post about how having an audience with the pope was an "honor that will stay with me for the rest of my days."

"My little Leo has been showering us with so many signs of his constant presence this entire trip," Drena De Niro captioned a series of photos of the family members' visit.

The guy on the wall looks really offended

[pissant]

Leo, is Pope Francis (the talking mule) II, without the accent

[dforest]

What an embarrassment the Catholic Church has become.

DeNiro? Really?

James 2:8-11 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

Bobby has a daughter named “Drena”?
If the child had been a male, would they have named him
“Drano”? Maybe it means something in another language.

They’d be better off with Dennis Rodman. He’s less of a freak.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Looking forward to Ellen DeGenerate's visit.

And Father Guido Sarducci's too.

De Niro edged out Rosie O’Donnell and Kathy Griffin on the sole criterion of “most hateful to Trump”

[delchiante]

The Vatican and Hollywood arm and arm.

Two wretched hives of scum and villainy that probably won’t make the end times cut line

[jerod]

When one asks oneself... ‘What would Jesus do?’

I somehow think that ‘hanging out with celebrities’ wouldn’t be on anyone’s list.

[iamgalt]

Leo is already every bit as bad as franlee the fraud. The church has fallen.

The Vatican is just part of the New World Order now. Another branch of the deep state.

[HYPOCRACY]

Friggen clown world.

Also, any guy who calls Ordinary People a favorite movie is probably a fruit.

[Bigg Red]

Prayers up for Holy Mother Church.
