Netizens took to Twitter and said they were distracted by the “good looks” of the psalmist who sang “Forever, I will sing of the goodness of the Lord,” but others said they should focus on the mass officiated by the Pope instead of the psalmist.
The psalmist was identified as Kenneth Rey Parsad, a theologian from the Diocese of Bangued, comparing it to the same seminarian posted on the Benavides Online, the official online publication of the University of Santo Tomas’ Central Seminary.
Below are some of the tweets from Parsad’s instant fans:
