Pope Leo welcomes Hollywood stars to the Vatican

Pope Leo's recent audience with Hollywood stars, including Cate Blanchett and Spike Lee, underscores the Vatican's recognition of cinema's power to inspire and unite. This event aligns with Pope Leo XIV's broader commitment to inclusivity, as seen in his encouragement for marginalized voices in the film industry. Additionally, the Vatican's recent return of 62 items to Indigenous communities in Canada reflects a growing awareness of cultural sensitivity and reconciliation, further enhancing the Church's engagement with diverse narratives and communities.
