Jason Kelce had a hilarious take on Pope Leo XIV’s celibacy in the recent episode of the ‘New Heights’ podcast which he co-hosts with his brother, Travis Kelce. Both Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce are known Christians, their exact denomination is not known. However, it is known for sure that the brothers are not Catholic. Therefore, it is understandable that the Kelce’s don’t know much about Catholic rules, especially for popes.
Last week, Robert Prevost became the new Pope at Vatican City after the death of Pope Francis. Robert Prevost who took the name Pope Leo XIV, became the first pope from the United States. The news obviously delighted millions of Americans, including Jason Kelce and his brother. Travis Kelce was curious about the rules that the new Pope will have to follow, to which Jason Kelce answered with the information that he knew.
“Gotta be pretty devout, you can’t have s*x. That’s a big rule, that’s a big one,” Jason Kelce answered Travis about the rules of celibacy that popes have to follow.
“He made it out of Chicago without any intercourse, this guy can do anything,” Travis Kelce responded to Jason Kelce on the New Heights podcast.
