The Vatican – Pope Francis has been paying close attention to the College Football Playoff this season, in no small part due to the performance of resurgent Notre Dame. CFB News Now has learned that, after watching the Fighting Irish take down Penn State, Catholicism’s head honcho has apparently already cleared out some wall space to hang a 2024 National Championship banner in anticipation of Notre Dame’s return to the top of the college football mountain.
“He’s very excited about how this season has panned out. He doesn’t want to say, ‘I told ya so,’ but he had it on good authority that this was going to be a special one,” said a Vatican representative on deep background via Skype early on Friday morning.
“The last time the Irish won it all, the pope was just a bishop, so to be the first pope that presided over a natty, that’s something he would take great pride in.”
How did el jefe decide which piece of art would need to come down to make room? With deep introspection, our source said.
“His first instinct was Jesus, because we have so many of those hanging around, but he didn’t want to upset the big guy. Mary was out of the question, too sacred. Joe was a great guy, did a lot for this congregation, helped raise a kid that wasn’t even his with complete selflessness, but at the end of the day, he’s kind of like Catholicism’s sixth man. He comes off the bench, contributes a lot, but he’s not a super star, you know?” our source concluded.
