ope Francis honored American actors George Clooney and Richard Gere and actress Salma Hayek on Sunday, awarding them the “Olive Medal” for peace at a Vatican event.
The Vatican event was organized to promote the work of a foundation called Scholas Occurrentes (schools of encounter), which Clooney praised as “a wonderful program” that enables “many different religions to speak of inclusion, because we know that hatred and fundamentalist attitudes are learned and inculcated.”
It wasn’t clear from reports what the celebrities had actually done to merit the medals, although George Clooney is well known as a liberal activist and successful fundraiser for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, with attendees paying as much as $353,400 per person at a recent event held at the actor’s home.
According to its website, Scholas is an International Organization founded in 2013 and operating under the auspices of the Vatican, which “connects technology with arts and sports in order to promote social integration and the culture of encounter for peace.”...

So the Pope is giving medals to non-Catholics now? When does Obama get his medal from the Pope.
At the time the “rumor” began I was told in no uncertain terms by a Cedars Sinai Hospital employee that it really happened.
Just sayin’......
Well played Mr. Stallone!

With all due respect, Auntie, NEVER HAPPENED - regardless of what you were ‘told’.
It is an ugly Urban Legend (started many years ago by a jealous Sylvester Stallone) that should be put to rest.
I have no love for this man or his politics, but he is a human being, and does not deserve this.
Two faggots? Is Hayek a lesbo?
I’ve read where this is the last pope. This is certainly more evidence of that.
All vocal anti-Trumpists.
Are any even Catholic?
You’re right. How could he forget Miley!
What about the gerbil from the encounter? Did the commie pope honor it, as well?
We’ve heard this rumor forever.
So now you are starting a rumor that it was Stallone that started the rumor. Where are your facts to back up this claim against Stallone.
I don’t even care if this thread has deteriorated into Gere and his gerbil. Seems fitting for a story about the Pope honoring all these liberal elites.
According to Wikipedia,
"Hayek, who was raised Catholic, said she is not very devout anymore and does not believe in the institution [Church], but still believes in Jesus Christ and God.""Richard Gere -- Religion: Buddhist...Both of his parents were Mayflower descendants..."
"Clooney was raised a strict Roman Catholic, but said in 2006 that he does not know if he believes in Heaven, or even God."
This guy embodies the Peter Principle all right, just not in the theological sense.
Wake me when the Vatican gives Frederick Hayek a medal.
Not this pope. That’s for sure.

That’s all it is; a vicious rumor, and it gets tiresome reading this filth over and over each time Gere is mentioned.
For God’s sake, leave the man alone.
And no, I’m not ‘starting a rumor.’ I did research.
All three very wealthy. Coincidence ?
How many abortion proponents?
The world’s Catholics should demand this jerk be defrocked and sent away!
