Whoopi Goldberg presented Pope Francis with a signed copy of "Sister Act" as well as merchandise from her hit movie.
"It was kind of shocking, because for 11 years, this is something I've tried to do," Goldberg said, according to The Wrap. "You have to go through all these different ways, and we did it a different way. And the next thing I knew I was in Rome, talking to him. And he was quite amazing. He is exactly what I hoped he would be, which is a pope for all people, regardless of religion, which I really appreciated.
In addition to the film, Goldberg can be seen holding a copy of the soundtrack, a "Sister Act" notebook, and various other items. However, Goldberg said they were a request from Pope Francis. Speaking with Vatican News during her visit, Goldberg expressed her appreciation to Pope Francis for his message of inclusion after introducing changes in the church that best reflected the world.
