This family reunion could get really awkward. Turns out that Madonna, whose 1989 video for the song "Like a Prayer" was called "a blasphemy and insult" to the Catholic church, is related to Pope Leo XIV,

About two-thirds of American Catholics have a “very” or “somewhat” favorable view of Pope Leo, according to the new survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, while about 3 in 10 don’t know enough to have an opinion. Very few Catholics — less than 1 in 10 — view him unfavorably.

Pope Leo XIV, who made history as the first American pope when he was elected in May 2025, is connected to several famous names across politics and entertainment, including pop icons like Madonna and Justin Bieber.
