Reflecting the growing influence of the "Purpose-Driven Church" philosophy in the Catholic Church, Rick Warren had an audience with His Holiness, Pope John Paul II in 2004. After spending the day "hanging out" with Warren at the Vatican, the Pope immediately issued a papal bull to add Aloha shirts to his liturgical vestments and also build a Krispy Kreme kiosk inside the Sistine Chapel. Said John Paul excitedly: "Rick thinks I have a good chance of playing bass in the new Vatican Praise Band."
