Pope Leo, who has signed at least one Popplio pokemon trading card. I do hope we continue this trend of popes being human.

If the White Sox win the World Series under his tenure, there will be an astronomical amount of interesting pope-related things since he's a huge White Sox fan.

particularly because they were complete ass before he came around, so there's a bit of divine intervention happening here now that they're actually decent.

It's the combination of supposedly being completely and utterly infallible when speaking ex cathedra while also needing to be approachable. It's a weird combination of things.
