**Vatican City** — Today the cobblestone streets of Vatican City throbbed with more excitement than a cardinal’s first communion as Pope Leo XIV arrived at the annual Catholic Influencer Festival, greeted by an uproarious, phone-waving crowd. Eyewitnesses described the scene as “Coachella meets the Catechism.”
Organizers sold out of tickets in minutes, scalpers were spotted hawking “front pew” passes, and several nuns were seen weaving flower crowns out of rosary beads. “We’ve never had a pope this cool,” screamed Sister Marynoelle, currently trending on TikTok for her cinnamon-host challenge. She clutched a limited-edition LED papal hat as Pope Leo, decked out in custom Prada sneakers, took the stage to a remixed chant of “HABEMUS PAPAM (Dubstep-Latin Edition).”
Festival-goers live-streamed the opening prayer for #ForgivenAndLit, while Catholic influencers hosted panels like “Viral Virtues: Growing Your Faith and Your Followers.” Special guest DJ Father Francisco spun Gregorian trance remixes well past vespers.
Security was reportedly tight after last year’s tragic incident, when a rogue bishop attempted a stage dive during the closing hymn, landing in the frankincense burner. This year’s performances went off “miraculously” without a hitch, except for brief confusion after Pope Leo mistakenly blessed a crowd of inflatable saints.
“I came for the indulgence, but I stayed for the vibes,” said Benny B., a Catholic fitness influencer specializing in CrossFit. “I can’t wait for the confessional afterparty. Word is, this year’s VIP confessionals have a velvet rope.”
Festival swag included holy water spritzer bottles (“Stay hydrated and sanctified!”) and limited-release Pope Leo bobbleheads. A rumor that the Pope would sign foreheads proved unfounded, but many fans left with a palpable sense of spiritual FOMO.
Vatican City officials report they are already considering adding a mosh pit section for next year. Because nothing says faith like crowd surfing your way to eternal salvation.
