“
If His Holiness Pope Francis has 1,728 CDs in his music library, I suspect that Elvis Presley' “How Great Thou Art” may be one of his favorite. Not only is it ranked as one of the most popular hymns of all time, but Presley’s version even won a Grammy Award for Best Sacred Performance in 1967. If Mozart “lifts” Pope Francis to God, Presley's “How Great Thou Art” is sure to at least make his soul sing.
