Point Dume's Bob Dylan meets Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican

The 85-year-old singer, on tour in Italy, exchanged gifts with the American pope during a break between concert dates.

By Hans Laetz

A famous resident from Point Dume went knock-knock-knocking on Heaven's Door Tuesday. Bob Dylan visited Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican. Dylan is 85 years old now. He's on a concert tour across Italy, and he visited with the American pope during a break between concert dates.

The Vatican says the encounter was brief. Pope Leo gave Dylan a rosary. Bob Dylan presented the pope with a copy of his autobiography, Chronicles Volume 1. The pope has been known to occasionally quote Dylan lyrics in his homilies.
