Did he REALLY say what everyone THINKS he said to the Italian bishops?
The Pope caused quite a stir recently when he supposedly used very spicy language while discussing the suitability of this or that group of seminary candidates with a group of Italian bishops. But did he actually use the word all the translators claim he used? Or is this yet again just a simple misunderstanding? Popesplainer Pete has the answers that everyone needs to hear!
This supposed gaffe comes almost at the very beginning of June, a particularly important month for celebrating the three cardinal virtues of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. What on earth was the Pope thinking when he used the word that got so many people upset? Turns out he was thinking about lunch…
Lady Deacons: Here They Come!

The Slap heard round the world…Revisited
It’s high time that artful popesplaining settles the issue of the infamous “St. Peter’s Slap” once and for all.

Pope-Splaining Hits a New Low
There’s a new YouTuber out there coming up with explanations so bizarre that you’ll spit your coffee all over your computer screen.
I don’t know what it is about people who enjoy contorting themselves into almost unbelievable shaps as they bend this way and that in a desperate attempt to explain away whatever the latest nonsense coming from our hierarchy might be on any given day. It’s more than a mere artform…it’s almost a science.
I am talking, of course, about “popesplaining.” For those who might be unfamiliar with the term, popesplaining is the act of convincing a skeptical listener that a particular action by a pope (or by extension, any of his close advisors, advocates, etc.) is not in fact inconsistent with established Church doctrines/teachings/practices, or with plain old common sense for that matter. You might have heard of some of them. Mr. Lofton and Mr. Lewis are but a couple of examples.
Well, dear readers, there is a NEW Popesplainer out there in YouTubeLand. His name is PopeSplainer Pete. This guy is in a class all by himself. But don’t take my word for it. Here’s his inaugural episode which aired recently.
