Pope Leo XIV<\/a> joked Saturday that he knows who would win if young people had to choose between seeing him or Latin pop singer Bad Bunny this weekend.<\/p>\n

The Pope, who began a weeklong visit to Spain<\/a> on Saturday, acknowledged that he is competing for attention with the Puerto Rican superstar while in Madrid. Many young Spaniards, he suggested, would likely choose the Grammy-winning artist over the pontiff.<\/p>\n

“If they are confronted with the question \u2018Do you want to go see Bad Bunny or do you want to go to see the pope?\u2019 I think many will see Bad Bunny,” Leo told reporters aboard the papal plane before his arrival.<\/p>\n

“But I think there will also be a few here to see the pope,” he added. “And that says something, you know.”<\/p>\n

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Mart\u00ednez Ocasio, is currently performing a 10-show run in Madrid as part of his Spanish tour.<\/p>\n

Leo raised the comparison while discussing what he described as signs of a spiritual awakening among some young people in Spain.<\/p>\n

The pope said many young adults appear to be searching for meaning and expressed hope that his visit could help “awaken” something within them.<\/p>\n

Despite his remarks, thousands of young Catholics turned out<\/a> to greet the pope.<\/p>\n

An estimated 500,000 people gathered in a Madrid plaza Saturday evening for a prayer vigil, chanting, “This is the youth of the pope!”<\/p>\n

Leo later rode through the crowd in his popemobile while a Spanish rendition of the 1970s musical “Godspell” played.<\/p>\n

The Chicago<\/a>-born pope was also asked about reports that the Chicago Bears could soon move out of Illinois.<\/p>\n

The team’s board of directors voted Thursday to advance a proposed stadium development project in Hammond, Indiana.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s out of my pay (scale),” Leo quipped when asked about the potential relocation.<\/p>\n
