On Wednesday, Bob Dylan met with Pope Leo XIII at the Vatican. This was not his first encounter with a Pope; back in 1997, he performed "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" in front of Pope John Paul II and around 300,000 attendees at the Eucharistic Congress in Bologna. Dylan, a Chicago native known for his love of arts and criticism of AI, has also advocated for social justice.
The Pope, who has shown appreciation for the arts and is critical of AI, met with Dylan in his private apartment in the Terza Loggia of the Vatican palace. The two, dressed casually in a black hoodie and a white dress shirt and tie respectively, engaged in a conversation that lasted about forty minutes. The interaction was described as intense and natural, with no apparent concerns over Dylan's attire.
