As part of his papal tour of the Philippines, Pope Francis held mass at Manila Cathedral on Friday.
The congregation's attention was diverted, however, by the good-looking man singing the responsorial psalm.

Filipino attendees — in person and via live telecast — took to Twitter to sing the praises of the man's good looks and even skin tone.

"The guy reading the responsorial psalm is so handsome. Sorry Lord, I can't help it. I mean, look at that skin tone."
Ang gwapo nung nagbasa ng responsorial psalm. Sorry Lord.. Di maiwasan na humanga, ganda ng skintone eh. #PopeFrancisPH
The man has been identified by devout Twitter users as Kenneth Rey Parsad, a second-year theologian from the Diocese of Bangued.

#ResponsorialPsalm began trending as the Manila Cathedral telecast continued.
Only time #ResponsorialPsalm will be trending -- #PopeFrancisPH :D
Devotees will probably be swarming the churches in droves in the coming months, likely to find other cute seminarians, and also for confession, maybe.
