Well, my interest in the Pope really comes from being an Argentine American. For us, you know, the Pope became the biggest icon and symbol from Argentina, even bigger than Maradona and Lionel Messi, which was... I mean, they're massive. Yeah. So we couldn't believe it. But to me, you know, I think of this moment where I actually saw the Pope in 2016. He did a ride through in Central Park.

I felt like I was in Beatlemania or something. And it was like people were going nuts. And I remember there was like a little Snapchat filter that had like the little Popemobile on the bottom. And I think the thing that has been so interesting about this Pope is that he...

has this influence beyond the church in terms of becoming both a political global figure and also sort of a pop culture figure. Like I think in the same way people talked about Obama being the first internet president, it feels like this was the first internet pope. Interesting. There were so many pope memes of the famous AI image of the pope, the first AI image.

I was tricked. I thought it was real and I was really into it. But I still love the image. I think it's incredible. You know, he was the first Latin American pope. And I think that for Latin Americans, it was a really big deal to see someone from the area become a world's leader.

And I think a lot of his perspective was shaped very much by his experience in Argentina and seeing a lot of migrants who went through very difficult moments of government repression. in the 80s. And I think that while at the beginning, at least a lot of progressives in Argentina were sort of nervous about him being the Pope.

Once we started to see what values he was espousing as the Pope, a lot of people changed their tune and became very excited about him. I'm very excited to know more about what Jason thinks about how he influenced the church specifically.

Something that's been so interesting, and Brittany, you and I talked about this because neither you nor I were raised Catholic, is like, I thought I would just care about Pope Francis because I'm Argentinian and then sort of move on. And I was surprised how invested I feel in this next conclave.

And I think it's a combination of, one, maybe it is just, like, the movie made it feel more accessible, and now there's all these, like, theories on YouTube and TikTok and, like, you know, Steve Kornacki at MSNBC in front of the board, like, doing this as if he's doing his election coverage. So it just feels like there's a lot of, like, brouhaha around it.
