Pope Francis’s official Instagram account appears to have ‘liked’ a racy photo of a bikini model dressed in stockings and suspenders.
A screenshot taken by an eagle-eyed social media user shows the @francisus account liking a picture of Natalia Garibotto dressed in a revealing schoolgirl outfit.
The image shows Miss Garibotto dressed in a short tartan skirt while packing books into a locker.
And it appears the Pope’s official account was one of more than 133,000 to have liked the 27-year-old Brazilian model’s picture.
Miss Garibotto took the like in good humour, joking she was on her ‘way to the Vatican’ with her Twitter followers.
She told Barstool Sports: ‘My mum may hate my ass pics but the Pope be double-tapping.’
Writing on Twitter afterwards, she said: ‘Brb on my way to the Vatican. At least I’m going to heaven.
‘If Pope Francis wanted the site, so should you.’
The apparent gaff sent social media users into hysterics, with one saying: ‘Now that’s my kind of Pope.’
Colin Little wrote: ‘My mans just admiring God’s creation leave him alone.’
The like is no longer on the account and it is not clear whether it was a mistake.
The picture posted on October 5 is captioned: ‘I can teach you a thing or two. Can’t wait for you guys to see my October shoot on my site.’
Miss Garibotto has more than two million followers on Instagram and a private members website.
