Pope Francis, a Saints fan?

That's what it seemed when he used #Saints Sunday morning. With the hashtag, New Orleans' fleur de lis symbol popped up, alerting Saints and NFL fans.

Today we give thanks to the Lord for our new #Saints. They walked by faith and now we invoke their intercession. — Pope Francis (@Pontifex) October 13, 2019

On Sunday, Pope Francis canonized British Catholic luminary John Henry Newman and four women, all of whom likely were the saints he was referring to. However, Twitter couldn't help but have fun at the Pope's unintentional support of the NFL Saints.

Dog I thought you were a panthers fan 😩 — Danny Disco (@dikrentz) October 13, 2019

Who knows, maybe all the football talk infiltrating the Pope's responses will make him a Saints fan at the end of the day.
