Schwarzenegger said that he is inspired by Pope Francis’ environmental work and he said he looks forward to “working together for a clean energy future.”
He also documented the experience on Snapchat, where Schwarzenegger called listening to the pope speak “fantastic.”
“Governor Schwarzenegger is a huge fan of Pope Francis, and he absolutely loves that he uses his pulpit to shine a light on our environment,” a representative for Schwarzenegger told ABC News of the former California governor. “He met with His Holiness today and discussed their shared commitment to clean energy and future collaboration on that issue.”
