Believe it or not: It certainly looks like the Pope digs the drip

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.
