Pope Francis Accidentally Blesses NFL Team Thanks to Automatic Emoji Function on X: 'They Need More Than What You Can Do'

The Pope's tweets about holy saints got mixed up with the New Orleans football team's hashtag twice this week, to a warm reception from the team's downtrodden fans who welcomed the encouragement.

We cannot become #Saints with a frown. We must have joyful hearts that remain open to hope.
