On June 12, Robert Royal and New York diocesan priest Gerald Murray questioned Leo XIV's meeting with "Bad Bunny" in Spain. Royal asked: "Why would the Pope or his organizers think it appropriate to take time out of the schedule to meet with Bad Bunny? [...] Look at what Bad Bunny's lyrics are. Even the lyrics he presented at the Super Bowl. It was basically gratuitous sex acts being described in gross detail."
Royal contrasted this audience to Leo XIV’s refusal to meet the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X: "The leader of the FSSPX wants to meet with the Pope, but he thus far has not allowed them onto his schedule."
Murray agreed: "The Bad Bunny meeting was impromptu, last-minute bad idea." And: "Leave the pornography-spewing singer on the side. Send him a priest to hear his confession and convert him. But he doesn't need this. This is just another publicity photo for him."
