Pope Leo XIV, formerly Robert Prevost, has been humorously characterized as America's first gamer pope. His brother revealed that Leo enjoys playing casual word games such as Wordle and Words with Friends to relieve stress. This revelation highlights a shift in the perception of papal interests, especially considering previous popes like Francis and Benedict XVI, who warned against the dangers of video games. Notably, a sizable segment of American Baby Boomers engage with video games, with Prevost belonging to the 44% who actively participate.
"First we do Wordle, because this is a regular thing. Then we do Words with Friends. It's something to keep his mind off life in the real world..."
"It's still striking to realize that the 69-year-old pontiff is among the reported 44 percent of American Baby Boomer men who play video games regularly."
