The 'Cash Pope' meme typically features an image of the Pope—most frequently Pope Francis—edited or captured in a pose that suggests he is throwing money, handling cash, or living a lavish lifestyle similar to a hip-hop artist. The meme gained traction as a satirical commentary on the vast wealth of the Catholic Church, as well as a reaction to various 'blessed' or 'prosperity gospel' tropes found online. It is often used to joke about receiving an unexpected tax refund, winning small bets, or the sheer opulence of religious institutions. Its versatility allows it to bridge the gap between religious satire and relatable financial success humor.
