George Clooney Is Honored by Pope Francis at the Vatican

Just Sayin.





George and Amal Clooney greeted the Pope Francis on Sunday night at the Vatican.

The actor is collaborating with the Pope's foundation, "Scholas Occurrentes," as an ambassador for one of its arts projects.

Scholas Occurrentes is an arts organization founded by Pope Francis that aims to bring together children from different backgrounds, with the hope of achieving peace and understanding.

Currently, the program can be found in 82 countries and 400,000 schools, according to the Associated Press.

This is what it looks like when you are invited and honored by the Pope. This is also what it looks like to meet him.
