This is like when people film theirAmerican Idolwinner reaction television in 2010 .
Pope Leo XIV is the first American-born Pope, but theWhite Sox superfanalso spent more than 20 years serving as a bishop and missionary in Peru, where he holds dual citizenship.
So, it goes without saying that the seminarians at Pope Leo’s former diocese in Peru were suuuuper stoked about his papal announcement.
One of them filmed their reaction, and it’s going viral:
Desde el Seminario Mayor Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo en la Diócesis de Chiclayo donde fue obispo Mons . Robert Prevost ahora su Santidad León XIV … así recibimos la noticia#chiclayo#roma#prevost#leónxiv#papa#LIVEIncentiveProgram
First off, it’s wild because they were probably one of the only people (besides Sister Rose) who were rooting for him.
Other people are calling it a “Spiritual world cup victory.”
“This is reminiscent of Peru scoring a goal in the World Cup,” one person said.
Another person said it’s giving “GOOOOOOAL.”
And then you have the Americans calling it “God’s NFL draft.”
“The Pope draft videos are giving me life.”
As legend Kelly Clarkson once said, “Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.”
