The Pope Blessed Russell Crowe, Just Not His Movie

Russell Crowe has been lobbying tirelessly for the Pope to watch his Noah movie. He sent a screening invite on Twitter, and Paramount, after adding a disclaimer to all their marketing, even tried to set up a private meeting between Crowe, Noah director Darren Aronofsky, and Pope Francis. All in the hopes of convincing the church-going public that a ticket to Noah is a ticket to Heaven.
