Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have publicly discussed their moral values frequently \u2014 including in a lengthy letter when their daughter was born a year ago, in which they pledged to donate 99 percent of their Facebook stock, which at about $45 billion at the time was one of the largest philanthropic commitments ever. And they\u2019ve already met one of the world\u2019s most important religious figures: Pope Francis, with whom they discussed bringing communication technology to the world\u2019s poor.
