Pope jokes about Bad Bunny rivalry in Spain
7 Jun
Summary
- Pope Francis acknowledged competing with Bad Bunny for young fans.
- Thousands gathered for a prayer vigil and chanted his name.
- He also made a lighthearted remark about the Chicago Bears' stadium.
Pope Francis joked about the popularity contest between himself and Latin music star Bad Bunny as he arrived in Spain for a weeklong visit. Speaking aboard the papal plane, he acknowledged that many young people might choose to see the Puerto Rican artist over the pontiff.
Despite the perceived competition, thousands of people gathered to greet Pope Francis, with an estimated 500,000 attending a prayer vigil in Madrid. During the event, the crowd chanted, "This is the youth of the pope!" The pontiff later rode through the crowd in his popemobile.
The pontiff also addressed other topics, including a lighthearted comment on reports of the Chicago Bears potentially moving out of Illinois. He humorously stated that such matters were outside his "pay scale."
