Last May, the Dad and the director of “Taxi Driver”, “The Departed” and “Goodfellas”, among others, held a meeting in which the filmmaker told him that he was working on a film about Jesus.
At that time, the film director was on a tour of Italy, so he took advantage of it to meet with the Pope and tell him about the movie I was working on.
During a press conference he gave at the time, Scorsese said: “I have answered the call of the Dad to artists the only way I know how: imagining and writing a script for a movie about Jesus“.
What the Pope said about his meeting with Javier Milei
During an interview, Francisco spoke about his meeting with the president of the Nation, Javier Milei and it showed “ready to start the dialogue” with him. In addition, he mentioned the possibility of traveling to Argentina and maintained that it is “a hypothesis” since the organization “has not yet started.”
“On February 11 will come the canonization of ‘Mamá Antula’, founder of the House of Spiritual Exercises of Buenos Aires. Before canonizations it is customary to greet the authorities in the sacristy,” Pope Francis confirmed about Milei’s trip.
And then he stated: “I know he made an appointment for a conversation with me: I accepted, and that’s why we’ll see each other. and I’m ready to start a dialogue, talk and listen with him. As with everyone“.
