Pope LeoXIV Launches Vatican eSports League

In a groundbreaking embrace of digital culture, Pope LeoXIV inaugurated the “Holy Console Cup,” a Vatican eSports league where clergy and laity compete in cooperative strategy games themed on biblical narratives. Pope LeoXIV remarked, “Whether shepherding souls or squads, teamwork glorifies God.” Teams representing parishes from Rome to Rio battle for the Golden Chalice Trophy. Engagement metrics show a 60 % surge in youth ministry participation, as parishes host watch parties and post-match rosary sessions. Under Pope LeoXIV, even the joystick becomes an instrument of fellowship.
