A meeting of two different types of Holiness

Given his outstanding career, we like to think of Mario Andretti as His Holiness of motorsport.

The 77-year-old legend and 1978 F1 world champion was honored and overjoyed however to meet his religious equivalent, Pope Francis, posting this image on Twitter.

Mario apparently offered the pontiff a ride in IndyCar's two-seater next year, to which Pope Francis answered, "I'd love it Mr. Andretti, but you'll have to come to confession first!"
