PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Pope Francis has an official Twitter handle with more than 8 million followers and once held a Google hangout with students from all over the world, so it shouldn't be too surprising that he met with a leader from the tech world today.
At his private studio at the Vatican, the Pontiff met with Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of Google.
Schmidt gifted the pope a book which had been signed by its Argentine author.

Neither Google or the Vatican are commenting about what was discussed during the meeting, which reportedly lasted about 15 minutes.
