Pope Francis, the leader of the Catholics worldwide, and also the chillest pope ever, man (not that he had much papal competition to begin with *cough* the Inquisition *cough*) is now also a Harlem Globetrotter.

The legendary basketball team visited the Vatican City today, where they met up with the Pope in St. Peter’s Square and bestowed him with a spinning basketball atop the Holy Father’s holy finger and a jersey emblazoned with “Pope Francis.” He’s the ninth honorary Globetrotter in history.
