Pope Leo XIV has demonstrated his US roots as an ardent White Sox baseball fan after making a one-handed catch of a cloth doll thrown at him while on the move in the popemobile.

The impressive demonstration of hand-to-eye coordination, which has caused a stir on social media, occurred as the Pope departed on the popemobile after the weekly general audience at St Peter’s Square in the Vatican on 28 May.

The cloth doll appeared to be dressed in a way that represented the vestments the Pope wore when he first appeared on the balcony of St Peter’s Basilica after being declared as Pope Leo XIV.
