Mark Zuckerberg Meets Pope Francis at the Vatican

Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan meet with Pope Francis on Monday (August 29) at his residence in The Vatican in Italy.

“Together they spoke about how to use communications technology to alleviate poverty, encourage a culture of encounter, and to communicate a message of hope, especially to the most disadvantaged,” the Vatican said in a statement.

“It was a meeting we’ll never forget,” Mark told CNN about the visit. “You can feel [the Pope's] warmth and kindness, and how deeply he cares about helping people.”
