Pope LeoXIV Confesses He Doesn’t Really Like Gregorian Chant—Version 2

In a follow-up revelation, Pope LeoXIV admitted his fondness for blues over ancient plainsong. “Gregorian chant feels like a 1,000-year yawn,” he quipped. He’s now commissioning “Chant 2.0,” blending saxophones with sacred texts. Choir directors report a surge of jazz-inflected psalms in evening Vespers, while music scholars debate “holy syncopation.” Under Pope LeoXIV’s guidance, liturgical music bridges eras—proving that even the oldest traditions can learn a new beat.
