Speaking on the meeting, Zuckerberg said it was something he’ll never forget, writing on Facebook, “You can feel the Pope’s warmth and kindness, and how deeply he cares about helping people.”
He added, “We told him how much we admire his message of mercy and tenderness, and how he’s found new ways to communicate with people of every faith around the world.
