Everyone is pointing out the same issue as Pope Leo catches bizarre gift from member of the public

Many were quick to head to social media to point out the issue

Many people on social media are pointing out the same issue as pictures captured the moment Pope Leo caught a bizarre gift from a member of the public.

Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was welcomed into his new post on May 8, opting to go by the name Pope Leo XIV.

During his opening few weeks as the leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo called for a just and lasting peace in Ukraine, as well as an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, with the release of hostages and delivery of humanitarian aid, while welcoming the ceasefire agreement reached between India and Pakistan.

Pope Leo seemingly demonstrated his American roots on Wednesday (May 28) after making a one-handed catch of a cloth doll thrown by a White Sox baseball fan while he was on the move in the popemobile.

The doll appeared to be dressed similarly to when the pope first appeared on the balcony of St Peter’s Basilica when he was confirmed as the next leader of the Catholic Church.

While it was certainly an impressive catch by Pope Leo, everyone online is pointing out the same issue with the whole interaction.

"Adorable but his security is definitely slipping," one person wrote on Twitter.

A second added: "This is honestly lovely to see but what is his security doing? Seriously," while a third remarked: "That could be dangerous...."

Pope Leo has certainly been busy in his first few weeks, with the leader of the Catholic Church even touching on the future of AI recently.

He has previously said he chose his name from Pope Leo XIII, who wrote an open letter to all Catholics in 1891 to discuss the impact the Industrial Revolution had on the lives of workers.

The current pope spoke earlier this month about the similar conundrum humanity is facing with the rise of AI.

He said: "In our own day, the church offers everyone the treasury of its social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice and labour."

"It has been clearly seen in the example of so many of my predecessors, and most recently by Pope Francis himself, with his example of complete dedication to service and to sober simplicity of life, his abandonment to God throughout his ministry and his serene trust at the moment of his return to the Father’s house."
