But not only that, but also particular situations were revealed, such as the strange coincidence that occurred about the time the Pope passed away.
The viralized coincidence in Francisco’s death
According to the information reported by Radio ADN, the Pope passed away at 88 years old and at 2:35 am yesterday, Monday, in Argentine time. At 7:35 am in the Vatican, according to official information.
There was an event that particularly surprised football fans, considering that the Pope was actually a supporter of the San Lorenzo de Almagro team, one of the biggest teams in Argentine football.
In fact, Francisco was a member of the club they call “Santo”. And what’s curious about it? His number.
“The Pope died at 88 years old, at 2:35 (Argentine time). Bergoglio’s membership number? 88235. We will have to believe in the forces of heaven only,” said journalist Juan Luis González in a post that went viral on X.
San Lorenzo: another of Pope Francis’ passions
Almost immediately after being elected pope in 2013, Francis’ fondness for San Lorenzo de Almagro became known when the Argentine club tweeted a photo of him holding the club’s emblem.
San Lorenzo had a good performance after Francisco was elected as pope in March 2013.
The team won a national title in 2013 and then conquered the Copa Libertadores de América for the first time a year later. The club’s executives traveled twice to the Vatican carrying trophies to thank Pope Francis for his support. The club’s next stadium will be called “Pope Francis”.
