If Mark Wahlberg was going to seek divine forgiveness for one of his movies, you’d think it’d be The Happening, right? Maybe the Entourage movie? But no, Wahlberg was somehow forced to apologize to the Pope for one of his biggest hits, after learning that a 14-year-old with the voice of an angel was also a fan of Ted.

To be clear, Wahlberg—who was onstage at Philadelphia’s World Meeting of Families event, headlined by Pope Francis—was not actually apologizing for making the movie Ted. The “Holy Father, please forgive me” line only came because the R-rated movie about Wahlberg and a stuffed animal doing drugs and getting wasted isn’t appropriate for teenagers asked to sing in front of the Pope. But Wahlberg does seem to be seeking some kind of generic forgiveness for anything else in his career the Holy Father might not approve of; “I’ve always hoped that the good Lord has a sense of humor, when it comes and pertains to many of the movies that I’ve made.”

So Mark, if you say three Hail Marys and come back for confession next week, we’ll no longer hold Contraband against you, either.
