Pope Benedict XVI has asked hundreds of artists, writers, and musicians to meet with him in the Vatican this fall in an initiative to rekindle “the special historical relationship between faith and art,” but at least one invitee won’t be there. Video artist Bill Viola (photo Flickr) has turned down the invitation because “he doesn’t agree with many of the policies put forth by the Vatican and the Catholic Church,” says a source at the James Cohan Gallery, which represents the artist.
