And on the eighth day, the pope became a meme.
Twitter was awash in the holy glow of #PopeBars on Monday. This hashtag game pairs a meme-worthy photo of Pope Francis gripping a microphone alongside hip-hop lyrics inspired by His Holiness.
Even if Pope Francis hasn't quite lived up to the "cool pope" reputation he earned early on, it's nice to pretend.
