Vatican City – A painting of Joseph which was removed to make room for a Notre Dame National Champions banner has been returned to its original hanging place in the Vatican by Pope Francis, sources close to the situation told CFB News Now.
“Is he beat up about it? Yeah, of course he is,” said a Vatican City representative on deep background via Facebook Messenger early Tuesday morning.
“The game just didn’t go how he hoped. He was going to let it play out on the field, but when it got to 31-7 Ohio State, he thought he needed to intervene a little bit on the Fighting Irish’s behalf, so he started reciting ‘Hail Mary’s nonstop, and it almost worked. We were one non-press man coverage play away from having a really interesting ending,” our source said.
Did the Notre Dame defeat do anything to shake the pope’s faith in the almighty or the power of prayer? Not at all, said our source.
“He knows how this goes, he’s been around a long time. He’s seen so many wins and losses like this, not only in the church, but also on the gridiron. He has full belief that the Catholics will make it back and honor the big guy with a natty before too long,” our source concluded.
