Pope Francis and the impact of his death on the American GF Vip: disbelief and reflections among the contestants
the house of American Gf Vip, where daily stories and dramas intertwine, welcomed the tragic announcement with silence and disbelief.
“Hello everyone, guys,” began the voice that interrupted their daily routine, “this morning early, after several hospitalizations due to respiratory problems, he died in the Santa Marta residence, Pope Francesco.” Almost like a dream hard to believe, the words bounced off the walls of the house. Some contestants opened their mouths, others made the sign of the cross. Luca, visibly shocked, covered his face. A silent gesture, but one that said it all.
Pope Francis, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, has died at 88. The first Latin American Pope in history, who had always tried to remain faithful to a more humble vision of the Church. That morning, the competitors were not prepared for such a communication. And yet, there it was, striking everyone with its force.
American Big Brother VIP: The Contestants React to the Death of Pope Francis, the Announcement That Shocked the House
A Pope who stood out for his gestures of mercy, for his message of welcome. We remember his refusal of red Prada shoes, to keep his simple orthopedic shoes. He also refused to live in the papal apartments, choosing instead the simplicity of Casa Santa Marta. A man who challenged tradition, who was never afraid to make uncomfortable statements, such as the one on the gay community: “If a person is gay and wants to get closer to God, who am I to judge them?” His words, full of tolerance, have left an indelible mark.
In those moments, inside the house, time seemed to stop. The death of Pope Francis, the man who had changed the face of the Church, has left a void. Not only for the faithful, but also for those, like the competitors of the American GF Vip, witnessed the end of an era. “A different Pope,” someone would say later. “A Pope who showed us another way of being Church.”
And while the contestants were recovering from the blow, Luca Onestini, who had already suffered prejudice and insults, watched the news and reflected. A profound reflection on how things can change, in an instant.
