A TikToker has discovered a popular way to turn it into a fantasy club in order to keep younger viewers engaged in the otherwise mysterious selection process of Pope Francis ‘ moving, according to The Washington Times.
Cardinals from all over the world will vote in secret at the Vatican’s upcoming papal conference on May 7 to choose the next Catholic Church head. One glad father on TikTok is adding a modern twist to the centuries-old method, which is steeped in history.
The Tik Toker named Max, who goes by the name of @itismaxhooray, has developed what he refers to as the Pope League, a fantasy football-style game where players pick a saint and receive points based on how their choice works in the election rounds.
According to Max, the Independent,” There are ten times the number of individuals in this lottery as there are cardinal in the Catholic Church, making it bigger and therefore more reasonable than the real conclave.”
The concept quickly gained popularity. More than 2, 000 people reportedly signed up for the activity on the first day, according to The Washington Times, after Max’s video received more than 100, 000 views. Individuals can receive” Pope points” by playing the game, and they can actually “imagine themselves as the next Pope.”
Given that the majority of the chiefs were chosen by Pope Francis himself, the conclave is likely to be carefully watched. This has sparked concerns about whether the incoming Pontiff will follow the current course of reform or choose to follow a more reasonable course.
Pope Francis passed away in the Vatican City on April 21 at the age of 88. World officials, nobles, and a large crowd of mourners from all over the world attended his funeral.
