Bob Dylan in the Vatican. He met with Pope Leo XIV

Pope Leo XIV referenced an artist's words in the introduction to a Vatican publication on peace, including a quote from Bob Dylan's 1963 song "Go Away You Bomb". Dylan's lyrics express opposition to nuclear weapons. His visit to the Vatican coincides with a concert in Rome as part of his world tour, where he enforces strict privacy rules against filming. This is not Dylan's first encounter with the Catholic Church; he previously performed for Pope John Paul II in 1997 at a Eucharistic Congress in Bologna, attended by 300,000 youth.
