Pope Leo XIV’s Apple Watch Sparks Debate Over Tech In The Vatican
A’surreal’ detail on Pope Leo’s attire during the weekend’s celebration of Holy Mass caused people to gasp.
Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, who chose to use the name Pope Leo XIV, was sworn in on May 8 after being born in Chicago.
Pope Leo praised the ceasefire agreement reached between India and Pakistan in his first few weeks as head of the Catholic Church and demanded a fair and sustainable peace in Ukraine as well as an immediate ceasefire in Gaza that included the release of hostages and the provision of humanitarian aid.
Since his inauguration, the pope has also been busy conducting masses, and his most recent appearance has left followers in shock.
Many admirers noticed that Pope Leo, 69, was wearing an Apple Watch in addition to his typical outfit to the mass.
For many individuals, this is very standard clothing, but there’s something about the pope sporting a fitness watch that makes people laugh.
“Him wearing Apple Watch gets me every time,” one person wrote on Twitter.
A second added, “The Pontiff wearing an Apple Watch is a really surreal image,” while a third remarked, “The Apple Watch is so funny.”
Social media users have already noticed the pope wearing a technological device, such as the Apple Watch, shortly after Pope Leo was elected.
A sneak peek of a smartwatch was visible in a photo of recently elected Pope Leo XIV that 9to5Mac shared on Instagram.
“Newly elected Pope Leo XIV is making buzz in the tech and watch communities after being seen wearing an Apple Watch during his first official mass,” the caption read.
“It’s not clear which model this is. Any guesses?”
After an Apple news outlet quickly published the post, several people realised it was indeed an Apple Watch.
A Reddit user discovered a picture of the pope blessing a parishioner a few years ago while wearing a watch, suggesting the pope has long been a lover of the Apple product.
“During his first Holy Mass, Pope Leo XIV sported an Apple Watch, which he had worn previously before being elected a Cardinal,” the post stated.
