This got more traction than I imagined and has motivated me to make a more thorough survey where I can actually parse the data.

No email is necessary to input to complete the survey. Please also consider sharing this off tumblr with people in your life to get a broader sample, especially people who love history and love museums!

Do you remember when I joked that a new sin was about to drop regarding AI being used to write homilies.

Our boy Leo has only gone and written an Encyclical Letter.

“Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together.“

It’s mind blowing to me that the pope also shares my thoughts about being human in a digital age that increasingly detaches us from our humanity and is dumbing us down:

“Without careful attention, an educational system lacking in a love for truth may emerge, in which an incessant flow of information replaces the essential exercise of research, reflection and discernment. As knowledge becomes increasingly fragmented, it becomes difficult to grasp reality as a whole, to ask profound questions about meaning, or to develop authentic, critical and creative thought.”

I was going through your blog, and I realized that it's been quite some time since there's been an Italian Pope. John Paul I?

Yeah and he was pope for about 33 days so that didn't even really count

it's actually funny how many more Italian popes there have been than from the second most common country

[howisthepope]

Well this is absolutely devastating news

[goatmaiden]

Full article features the information that the photographer "has also created a calendar featuring Venetian gondoliers and has founded museums in Budapest and Montenegro on the history of cats."

And a final verdict from Korean Father Domenico: "I think in Korea this calendar is very famous, and it is OK.”

[howisthepope]

I had to go find it. Amazing. No notes

I'm not religious nor a Chicago fan but I want this hat because it's hilarious

[howisthepope]

I'm on vacation with my family right now and they were having a heated debate over something that was getting out of hand so I told them if they continued I was going to start spewing pope facts and that actually worked

[msstinkalot]

I'd rather have a nothing burger over a nothing nothing

[howisthepope]

Hi i think it's cool that this blog still exists LMAO

oh I am just biding my time

[howisthepope]

how do i stop the guilt that has haunted me since catholic baptism at the age of 6 months old

Things you do to improve your own life that don't harm others are not wrong

You don't need to follow rules that have been interpreted with malicious intent from a book that's over a thousand years old

Mwah cured of catholic guilt 😘

[howisthepope]

I made a blog for one (1) joke and now people are asking me all these questions

[howisthepope]

It's been a year

No worries Trump's almost done with Iran, he has set his sights on the Vatican now

[howisthepope]

Trump as a doctor? Come on! That's the worst excuse I've ever heard.

You would think he'd be better at coming up with excuses considering how much experience he has

[howisthepope]

The absolute blasphemy

AJSJSHDUSB HE ALREADY DELETED IT

Trump deletes Truth Social image depicting him as Jesus: 'I thought it was me as a doctor'

President Donald Trump in May 2025 posted an apparent AI image depicting himself as a Catholic pope after the death of Pope Francis.

“I did post it. I thought it was me as a doctor,” Trump told reporters at the White House, denying claims he was meant to appear as Jesus. “It was supposed to be me as a doctor, making people better,” he said.

[howisthepope]

I don't understand how Christians can justify continuing to support Trump. Posting that pic like he's Jesus? What's wrong with him? I hope enough American Catholics see all that, and stop supporting him.

Apparently he removed it after backlash from his Christian supporters, so at leat there's that 😅
