#PopeBars Is the Greatest Thing to Happen on Twitter, Ever
#PopeBars just usurped last year’s #RuinARealityShow as our favorite trending hashtag of all time, and—despite only starting to gain steam this afternoon—already has over 58,000 tweets.
Here’s why: Pope Francis is touring through the Central African Republic right now, and today he made a pretty serious speech in the city of Bangui. Except, the Internet wasn’t hearing a word of it, instead turning attention to one particular photo of the Pope speaking. While holding a microphone. Horizontally. With a choked-up grip. Like a rapper.
You see where this is going.
Naturally, people on the Internet couldn’t help themselves, and within minutes the photo was captioned with #popebars and thousands of 140 character rap verses. Check out a sample of some of our favorites, and then head over to Twitter to scroll through the full feed.
I got enemies! Got a lot of enemies! Got a lot of sinners trying to drain me of this energy! #PopeBars pic.twitter.com/ZPiM3CnV6f

His psalms are sweaty, knees weak, cross is heavy. There’s vomit on his robe already, Vatican spaghetti… #popebars pic.twitter.com/u7gBksSHSR
