Does anyone have the story behind Michael meeting the Pope?

[IhateTheMedia]

I saw one of his friends talking about how Mike had a private audience with Pope Paul and brought his vocal coach with him, only to be teared up about how one of his associates killed a Fly. So it has me interested, in the lore behind when this meeting with the Pope actually took place & if anybody knows the lore behind it.
It would be neat if someone here could dig and find out.
