I would think this is more likely the case.

Considering the Pope is a person and world leader, and the Saints Superbowl was the most watched, most KNOWN NFL Football event in history, I would imagine the Pope would want to see the ring.

The team is named after "All Saints Day" and the "Saints" - both religious origins from the Catholic Church.

True, any catholic clergy MUST be a fan of the Saints or Cardianls, or face possible excommunication.

Just as all Catholic clergy must be fans of the Padre's or Cardinals in Baseball.
