Pope Leo XIV Goes Viral with Gen Z Hand Gesture and Sneakers

In a plot twist no one saw coming, Pope Leo XIV casually did the viral '6-7' hand gesture with kids at the Vatican, and yes, the internet lost it. The Pope joined in as children chanted the nonsensical trend, instantly earning himself 'Gen Z Pope' status. Honestly, even the Vatican isn't immune to meme culture anymore. Safe to say, His Holiness is keeping up.

Sneakerhead? But make it sacred

This isn't his first Gen Z-coded moment. The Pope recently went viral for wearing sleek white Nike sneakers under his robes. Last year, he was even spotted sporting a Chicago White Sox cap. The internet dubbed it 'holy drip,' proving that between streetwear and memes, this papacy is quietly rewriting the vibe.
