NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Pope Francis will meet with American pop singer Miley Cyrus when he visits the United States September 22-27, 2015.

During his papal visit, Francis will meet with President and Mrs. Barack Obama, address a joint session of the U.S. Congress and speak before the United Nations  General Assembly.

The U.S. Conference of Bishops confirmed Francis’ private meeting with Cyrus who recently said that the biblical account of Noah’s Ark is nothing but a fairy tale. Cyrus was quoted saying, “That’s f*cking insane.  We’ve outgrown that fairy tale, like we’ve outgrown f*cking Santa and the tooth fairy, and all Disney characters.”

The pope was concerned that because many young Catholics look up to Cyrus, they might be led to believe that Noah’s Ark is indeed a fairy tale.

The meeting will happen on September 24 in an undisclosed location where the Pope is expected to conduct a one-on-one catechism session with Cyrus.  He hopes the meeting will convince the popular singer about factual accounts in the bible, including the story of Noah’s Ark.

Cyrus, speaking through her publicist, said she welcomes the meeting and is open to hearing what Pope Francis has say about the issue.

The singer started her career as the Disney character Hanna Montana. She has outgrown that character and has since appeared nude in photographs and revealed she was gender neutral.

Cyrus regularly attended church as a youngster and even took to wearing a purity ring as a sign of her Christian faith.
