Pope Francis will personally address the Fortune/Time Global Forum to be held Dec. 2-3 in Rome, the company said Tuesday.

“I think business leaders feel there is a breakdown in trust of business’ ability to make positive change in the world, and they want to address that,” said Time Chief Content Officer Alan Murray. “And I think the Vatican recognizes the value of meeting people from the Fortune Global 500.”

No politicians will be invited, he said. The theme of this year’s conference is The 21st Century Challenge: Forging a New Social Compact.
