Pope Francis' Instagram account has hit headlines after users noticed it had 'liked' a model's racy post on the social media site.
The 'like' was spotted by a follower of Brazilian model Natalia Garibotto, 27, who took a screenshot to prove that the picture had caught the eye of someone very unexpected.
In the racy snap, Garibotto can be seen posing against lockers while wearing suspenders, a cropped shirt, and a very short plaid skirt.
The picture, however, has now been unliked by the Pope's Instagram account.
Although the post was liked by the Pope's account, it not known if the Pope himself liked the picture, or someone else using his account.
Natalia Garibotto admitted that while the Pope hasn't casually slid into her DMs yet, she did tweet: "At least I'm going to heaven."
She later told Barstool Sports: "My mom may hate my a** pics but the Pope be double-tapping."
In addition, in a follow-up post on her Instagram feed, Garibotto shared another snap of her in the same racy outfit, alongside a video "proving" the Pope's account liked her post.
She captioned the follow-up: "On this very day I was blessed, you could be too".
This comes after Pope Francis recently hit the headlines for his support of the LGBTQ+ community, which marks the first time that a pontiff has publicly supported the group.
Listen to Pope Francis endorse same-sex marriages in the video below:In a documentary called Francesco, the 83-year-old head of the Catholic church said: "Homosexual people have the right to be in a family. They are children of God. Nobody should be thrown out or be made miserable over it.
"What we have to have is a civil union law; that way they are legally covered."
Francesco had its premiere at Rome Film Festival in October and the Pope's comment marked the most public and transparent support of same-sex unions he has given to date.
Reverend James Martin, a well-known pro-LGBTQ+ Jesuit, said that the Pope's comments marked a step in the right direction for the Catholic Church.
In an interview with The Washington Post, he said: "I think it's a big step forward. In the past, even civil unions were frowned upon in many quarters of the church. He is putting his weight behind legal recognition of same-sex civil unions."
