On Friday, according to The Guardian, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt will meet with Pope Francis at the Vatican for a rare meeting about the tech industry. The said meeting will also be graced by the presence of Jared Cohen, Head of Google Ideas, who also appears to be joining the meeting according to a source from the Vatican.

Schmidt and Cohen, who co-wrote the book entitled "The New Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of People, Nations and Business," declined to comment on the reported meeting. However, a Twitter user named Iacopo Scaramuzzi otherwise started the idea. Pope Francis' knowledge on computers may be very limited, but he once said the internet is "a gift from God," per the Catholic Herald.

The Pope has also been following those who practice capitalism and inequality. His visit to the U.S. must have been the commencement of that discussion, but failing to visit states that practices inequality left the topic in his speech alone.

He said, "On the global level, we see a scandalous gap between the opulence of the wealthy and the utter destitution of the poor. We should never overlook the fact that those who for whatever reason lack access to social media run the risk of being left behind."

The Pope's view on the technology industry has far more meaning just its plain purpose. In his message at the 48th World Communication Day, he said, "In a world like this, media can help us to feel closer to one another. Creating a sense of the unity of the human family which, can in turn inspire solidarity and serious efforts to ensure a more dignified life for all."

In a previous report by the Catholic Herald, signs that the Pope is not at all oblivious of the technology world. The report said that the Pope urged its catholic followers to reach out to their neighbor through social media. He also implied how those who communicate become neighbors too.

What has been currently a practice on social media, like the flowing messages on religious sayings, has also been discussed by the Pope. He said that Christian witness is not about overflowing religious messages. Instead, they come in the form of your presence and the patience to listen to their religious questions. The news about Schmidt's meeting with the Pope fails to deliver the topic that will be discussed.

Meanwhile, we'll have to wait after it transpires to see what their rare talk on the technology industry covered. Schmidt estimated to have a net worth of $10.6 billion is currently the Executive Chairman of Alphabet.
