Sometimes Twitter can be a vile cesspool of ignorance and bigotry. Sometimes it’s a refreshing bastion of awesomeness.
Yesterday we got a little of the latter when a seemingly unremarkable picture of Pope Francis on his tour of Africa hit the web. It wasn’t long before the picture — which looks like the Pope is rapping — became fodder for comedy gold. The hashtag #PopeBars illustrated that, clearly, Franky Baby was bringing lyrical realness to the masses.
His psalms are sweaty, knees weak, cross is heavy. There's vomit on his robe already, Vatican spaghetti…

Even the mind behind the Broadway sensation Hamilton got in on the fun:
Lyrical cataclysm
Miracle catechism
Smack em w that epistle
Then
Back to the Vaticizzle

There’s SO much more where that came from.
Who know the Pope could be so dope?
