Angelina Jolie met Pope Francis during a private audience at the Vatican today. The mom-of-six was delighted when she was invited to the Vatican by the head of the Catholic church, and was asked to screen her movie ‘Unbroken’ for the Political Academy of Sciences.

Brad Pitt’s wife said in a statement released by Universal Pictures to Us Weekly:

“Being invited with my film to the Vatican is an honor and a great tribute to the story that I have told in Unbroken. The story of the hero Louis a great example of strength and forgiveness.

Pope Francis, aware of the incredible life story of Louis Zamperini, graciously welcomed the opportunity to view the film and is expected to attend the screening at the Casina Pio IV, headquarters of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences.” Jolie hosted the high-profile screening alongside Zamperini’s son Luke.

She also has brought her two eldest daughters Zahara and Shiloh along with her for the trip to Rome. Yesterday they were spotted enjoying time together at a local toy shop in Piazza Navona.
