Alanis Morissette says she embarrassed Vatican cardinals when she met the Pope in 2000 by speaking French to them after they had been criticising her.

Alanis Morissette has revealed that she embarrassed Vatican cardinals after she met the Pope in 2000. She said: "I'm post-Catholic; I don't know how it works anymore, so there was this awkward moment and I walked in front of them. They were all French and they were speaking about me behind me, saying how rude and horrible I was. I speak French, so I bit my tongue the whole way out and they were just ripping me apart, and then right at the tail end... I just turned back and spoke to them in French and said, 'Thank you so much for your kindness'".
