Pope Francis appears to accidentally bless the NFL's New Orleans Saints
Pope Francis seemed to inadvertently bless the New Orleans Saints — which couldn't come at a better time, as the NFL team just excommunicated their head coach.
Pope Francis seemed to inadvertently bless the New Orleans Saints — which couldn't come at a better time, as the NFL team just excommunicated their head coach.
The head of the Catholic Church posted to X on Tuesday morning: “The #Saints are precious pearls and are always living and relevant, because they provide a fascinating commentary on the Gospel.”
He included a hashtag on the word “Saints” which on X automatically added the team’s logo, a fleur-de-lis.
“Their lives are an illustration of the Good News that Jesus brought to humanity: God is our Father, who loves everyone with boundless love,” the pope wrote.
It comes as the New Orleans Saints fired head coach Dennis Allen on Monday after the team lost to the division rival Carolina Panthers on Sunday, making their seven straight defeat.
