The Pope’s choice was popular on Tiktok
Some videos were according to believers on the edge.
Although the Conclave is not a completely pop -cultural topic, social networks have made it one. It was the first time that the Tick generation experienced the election of the Pope and it can be said that they have made the most of it.
When they elected Pope Francis in 2013, Tiktok did not exist and Instagram was still a place for avocado toasts and #today I am possessions. However, a twitter account was created at that time dedicated to the seagull near the chimney of the Sistine Chapel with the description « Hanging Out at Conclave. Loving Life. And Cheetos. » (I am at the Conclave, I love life and cheetos crisps).
Now, thanks to Tiktok, the greatest event of the Catholic Church also watched people who do not believe, or they are not normally interested. Nevertheless, we cannot say that it was just a positive “sawmill”. The generation Z is authentic and direct, made the conclave a show and did not put a napkin on the cardinals at the cardinals.
The real pope of the Vatican
The official choice of the Pope has earned the ironic name of the « Superbowle Catholics ».
There were a number of videos on the network that offered short cardinal business cards, but also explained the election rules. The most watched videos by influencer Rob Anderson, who invented the Pope Games series, where he represented individual candidates.
He did it very in his own way, often comparing them with the characters from well -known reality show, for example with a series of rich wives, real lady from Beverly Hills, which he called the real Pope of the Vatican.
The video was also watched about what it would look like if the cardinals were evaluated in the same way as in the Rupaul’s Draq Race (American reality show where Draq Queens compete).
Despite the fact that the videos often looked bizarre and, according to some Catholics offensive, network users often educated the value direction of individual cardinals. They pointed out good things, but also homophobia or racism.
Unofficial anthem Let’s Have and Conclave She was already on too thin ice from Jason Forbes. The comments below the video were mixed, for Forbes they blamed the mockery of the Catholic faith, but there were also believers who admitted that the song was catchy.
A movie that has perfect marketing
Of course, the interest of the virtual public has also contributed to the success of the Conclave of the Last Year. Some Internet users joked that the marketing of this film has died out of control by death of Pope Francis.

The story showed the Conclave after the sudden death of the Pope, the policy of the Church, the internal fighting of the Cardinals and the intrigues. Ralph Fiennes was for the role of Cardinal Lawrence nominated for Oscara.
Just remind you that comparison of a conclave to the show real lady from Beverly Hills has already used the Wall Street Journal Just in a review of this film.
The young generation immediately adopted the individual characters from the film, which later « connected » to the real conclave. Similarly conservative members were found in the cardinal group as the Tedesco Film Cardinal. Furthermore, those who at first glance look like clear favorites, and even those who do not really want to become the Pope.
And what does Tiktok say to the newly elected Pope? There are not many reactions yet, but the first ones are generally positive. In particular, young Americans highlight his anti -Turple’s focus.
Others Taktikers are pleased that this is not the worst choice of options. At the same time, however, they slowly draw attention to his anti LGBTI comments from the past.
