Pope Francis who revealed he is proud of the performance of his fellow Argentine, Lionel Messi, has however stated that the celebrated footballer is not God.

Pointing out the “sacrilegious point” of many who worship the Barcelona star as a hero, Pope Francis who admitted that Messi is a joy to watch stated that he is not God. Speaking about his compatriot Messi, who is often referred to as “God”, Pope Francis said:

Jordi Evole: You know when both. Is it sacrilege to say the Messi is God?


Pope Francis: In theory, it is sacrilege. You can’t say it and I don’t believe it. Do you believe it?

Jordi Evole: I do.

Pope Francis: I don’t [laughs]. People can say he is God, just as they may say ‘I adore you’ but only God can be worshipped. Those are expressions from people. ‘This is a God with the ball on the field’ is a popular way for someone to express themselves.

Jordi Evole: But he plays well doesn’t he?

Pope Francis: Of course, he is very good, but he isn’t God.

But he the greatest ever The next best thing after.

Messi is just a human being who knows how to play football, just like a mathematician who knows how to solve mathematics!

Let’s not get carried away!! We have great people from the medieval ages like Aristotle, socreates, Plato ‘et al.

Messi is just like you and I doing well what he knows how to do best!

But it's not strange if Messi is idolized and worshipped like the many other pictures in Roman Catholic. Once you achieve a feat catholic give you a title and you enter statue and become a god.

St. Messi - pray for us.

No he is not, he is GOAT

The guy is talented. Hate him or like him, Messi is a joy to watch whenever he plays football.

I'm a Madrid fan but to be honest, Messi does not belong to the same class with Ronaldo. The difference is Messi is naturally born footballer. He plays football effortless while Ronaldo forced football to be part of him which is why he always train a lot.

The guy is also humble and religious that's why you hardly hear any controversy against him except of the regular tax evasion allegations.

E nor sabi self

He is a grass-eating goat
By the way, Ronaldo is the god of football

But he is a god of soccer

Ronaldo is

Messi is the greatest footballer ever. Ronaldo is remembered for goals but just check their goals per game ratio. Messi scores, creates, assists and dribbles. Watching his highlights brings joy and nothing but joy.

lol pope francis its all bants sir

Yea

There are 2 different types of Gods . one is God almighty the creator of universe. and other gods which Messi is of them. I don't need the help of pope to know that messi is god of soccer because I am seeing it myself.

Yes messi is not God, But Ronaldo is the GOAT. Let the CR7 fans click like.........

i wonder how people easily start worshiping things

meanwhile you can see my sig for a more important stuff

As for me and my household,RONALDO is the god and the real G O A T! he was a star in Portugal, he conquered England! he shattered records in Spain! he is currently TRENDING in Italy! He was a coach for few minutes and led Portugal to Euro most coveted trophy! Abeg there can only be one Ororo! Handsome king! we can't be ruled by Dwarf

Goat

It's the truth, not even a divinity.

Messi is just a talented footballer... Comparison wit Almighty is vr absurd.

Where's the insecurity coming from ehn oga pope?

Is anybody worshipping Messi? We need to calm down this over zealous religious higihaga.

What's tha business?

No Be My Nature To Dey Brag!!!

When you obtain a level no one currently or in passed has obtained in that profession... you become the god of that profession. So permit me to say Messi is a god of football.

Ronaldo fans please call 08069820812 for argument, I've enough strength to argue with anybody till next year December 31st and with still enough left to continue the year after.

and who said he is God?

thief

Messi....The best thing to happen in football after the greatest Christiano Ronaldo

Not your business actually nobody said he was a deity don't be caught up in semantic web
