Pope Leo XIV and Bob Dylan meeting

Overview

In November 2026, Pope Leo XIV held a private audience with American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan at the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City. The meeting was described by Vatican News as brief and friendly, involving lighthearted conversation and the exchange of gifts. The Pope presented Dylan with a rosary, while Dylan gifted the Pontiff a copy of his autobiography, “Chronicles: Volume One.”

This encounter follows a previous connection between the two, as the Pope had cited lyrics from Dylan’s 1963 protest song, “Go Away You Bomb,” in a book regarding global disarmament. This event marked Dylan’s second meeting with a Pope, following a 1997 performance for Pope John Paul II.
