Actors and musicians crowd the Sistine Chapel during their meeting with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican, Saturday, Nov. 21, 2009. The Pontiff spoke to more than 250 people—painters, sculptors, architects, writers, dancers, musicians, actors and directors—seated amid the frescoed beauty of the Sistine Chapel. "Through your art, you yourselves are to be heralds and witnesses of hope for humanity,'' he said. But he warned them to guard against "seductive but hypocritical'' beauty that creates "indecency, transgression or gratuitous provocation.''
