Imagine surrendering a historical artifact of a fandom you're a part of to cloy to a head of a religion you don't even follow

Didn't some freeze-gamer give the previous guy a copy of Undertale?

It was MatPat, in an event where the pope met with other internet celebrities and it was usual to leave a gift (Someone gifted a surfboard), and he made a video to explain why Undertale. To save you from the first 4 minutes of pure cringe, it's one of the few games with the option of mercy and pacifism, and he knew it was only symbolical.

I'm more surprised that he actually is a White Sox fan.

Yeah I'm now convinced he's an Opus Dei sleeper agent who Francis should've never trusted
