In this picture made available by the Vatican newspaper Osservatore Romano, Pope Benedict XVI leaves the Sistine Chapel at the end of his meeting with artists, actors and musicians at the Vatican, Saturday, Nov. 21, 2009. The Pontiff spoke to more than 250 people _ painters, sculptors, architects, writers, dancers, musicians, actors and directors _ seated amid the frescoed beauty of the Sistine Chapel."Through your art, you yourselves are to be heralds and witnesses of hope for humanity,'' he said. But he warned them to guard against "seductive but hypocritical'' beauty that creates "indecency, transgression or gratuitous provocation.''.
