The 'Pope Bars' meme features a photograph of Pope Francis taken in 2015 during his visit to a displaced persons camp in the Central African Republic. In the image, the Pope is captured holding a microphone with a grip and stance that remarkably resembles a hip-hop artist mid-performance. This visual coincidence led Twitter users to pair the photo with clever, religious-themed rap lyrics, often using the hashtag #PopeBars. The meme highlights the humorous contrast between the solemnity of the papacy and the energetic bravado of rap culture, making it a recurring favorite for puns involving scripture and streetwear.
