Eva Jinek was just enjoying the yellow -legged gulls on the roof of the Sixtine chapel, which had brought their chick (“This is the Babyméeuw! Look him!”) When suddenly white smoke came out of the chimney. It was an hour before the broadcast of her talk show, plenty of time to drum her home theologians Paul van Geest and Cok Donders. The new pope then introduced himself to the world during the day The broadcast of Jinek (NPO 1). “Your prayers are interrogated,” said Van Geest. Jinek: “I became religious at the last minute.”

When the new Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope ever, stepped on the balcony, professor of Geest Wild enthusiastically hit the table with his hands: “No dude, I know that! I drank beer with that!” (It was wine, he corrected later.) Even more goalkeeper happiness for Jinek. Van Geest and Donders could tell her from the wrist exactly who that man was on the balcony and why he was the right man in the right place. Among other things, they considered him suitable because he has a double passport and represents both North and South America. In News hour (NPO 2) The theologian Frank Bosman called him “the two -picture pause”.

Talk shows have the strange habit of consulting their guests about issues they know the balls. This time it was not too bad. Only Renze (RTL 4) Two laymen asked their opinion about the new pope. Sexologist Eveline Stallaart, who links strangers to Married at first sight (RTL 4), announced: “Nice that he is now there, the new one.” Make -up artist Nikkie de Jager said when asked: “Jeee! Go Pope!” With which she showed herself more generous than the church father, who, like his predecessors, is intolerant to LGBTQ over. The hunter said about this: “They say we are hysterical, but I also think this is a puppet show.”

Sister Act

How would they respond to the new pope in Sint Willebrord? The Catholic village is the subject of the reality soap St. Willebrord: The Miracle van Brabant (RTL 5), but it was already admitted last summer, so no trace of the pope change. If that would have been the case, then it would probably not be addressed because the program works best if the outside world stays out of the picture.

Sint Willebrord did get a new pastor. And the church renewal was also in full swing. Jolanda takes care of the Mariagrot in the village, but the accompanying church runs empty and threatens to be closed. To turn the tide, she herself put together a mass with ‘modern music’. That turns out to be life songs: “I believe” of Bobbejan Schoepen and “Where is the feeling” of Dana Winner. She also has an old protest song from the 1980s: “The church of Willebrord that must continue to exist.”

Corrie wants a song from the musical Sister Act doing. According to her, American gospel is a probate remedy against the secularization of the village. Corrie hers herself and three other women in nun costumes from the party shop. The new pastor finds the dress -up party a little too much innovation so the act takes place during the after -seat.

Daughter Linda clearly shows that she is involved involuntarily, but yes, mother Corrie is the boss. Dressed as nun, Linda does a song in the hallway, to her mother’s displeasure. As Gay, Linda does not feel comfortable in the Catholic Church: “I am not allowed to come in here. I am stitch-lesbian.” But the woman next to her in the pew in the pew: “Everyone is welcome here in God’s house.”
