The Pope Rapping Meme Is Back And Better Than Ever

#PopeBars has the pope laying down the best raps in the game.

Francis’ manner of holding a mic appears strikingly similar to a rapper’s, making it look like the religious leader is, uh, dropping bars.

The subsequent memes looked like this:

Dang. We’d see the pope in concert FOR SURE.
