Can you meet the Pope?
The easiest way to ensure that you have a chance to see the Pope in person is to attend a Papal audience or Mass. The Papal Audience is held every Wednesday that Pope Francis is in Rome. The audience typically begins around 10 or 10:30 AM and lasts for an hour to an hour and a half.
