Mark Wahlberg Uses
Pope-Hosting Gig to Plug ‘Ted 2′ Movie
by Daniel Nussbaum 27 Sep 2015
Pope Francis’ U.S.
visit got a shot of star power as actor Mark
Wahlberg, Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin,
and legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli welcomed the pontiff at an outdoor
rally and concert in Philadelphia on Saturday.
Wahlberg served as master of ceremonies at the
Vatican-sponsored event, billed the Festival of Families, where the Pope
delivered a sermon on the importance of the family to the thousands of faithful
in attendance.
“In the family, there are difficulties, but those
difficulties are overcome with love,” the Pope said through an interpreter, according
to the Associated Press. “Love is about celebration, love is joy,
love is moving forward.”
Wahlberg, who drew the ire of some who questioned whether a
former rapper and underwear model who has portrayed a porn star on screen was
the appropriate
choice to welcome the Pope, credited his Catholic faith with his personal
and professional success.
“I attribute all of my success to my Catholic faith,” the
actor told the crowd. “My faith has given me the ability to be a good father, a
good husband and most importantly a good person.”
Aretha Franklin delivered a stirring version of Amazing
Grace backed by a gospel choir to honor the pontiff, and the evening also
featured musical performances from rock bands The Fray and Sister Sledge.
