Hi!! Is the pope rave that happened holy or just a regular rave that happens to have been organized by the Church?

Hi!

For the uninitiated who don't know (like me) about the 'Pope' Rave:

It was a rave held outside of the St. Elisabeth Cathedral in Košice, Slovakia. It was organized by the Archdiocese of Košice to celebrate the Jubilee of Young People and the 75th birthday of Archbishop Bernard Bober on the 8th of November. The main DJ was Father Guilherme Peixoto (x)

Now it is called a pope rave but he did not attend nor did he organise it. He did leave a video message, blessing the people in attendance and saying a few words. This blessing was also remixed into the music.

I do not think it's holy but I get the question. The pope did bless it but holy is usually something that is set apart for specific religious use (as in direct use for God). And while the Youth Day and the birthday are connected to the church, I don't think they're inherently for the specific purpose of God. It rather serves the community and helps younger people connect (Youth Day has become VERY important to the church to try and keep it young) but it's not directly connect and so I wouldn't consider it holy

During the gift exchange, the Cubs fan wore a satisfied smile, while the Holy Father, with an expression of resignation, held up the dark-blue jersey with the name “Leo” and the No. 14 printed in red. 

Mar Awa III posted a photo of the moment on his Instagram profile, where he wrote: “During the exchange of gifts, I presented the pope with a customized Cubs jersey and hat (in honor of all of our north side Chicagoans). Needless to say, the pope enjoyed his gift very much,” he recounted with evident irony.

-National Catholic Register

I think it's also important to note that the "recounted with evident irony" is how the article describes an emoji 😊. Which I think is a completely accurate interpretation, but also incredibly funny considering it's the head of a church.
