That’s it, everybody. We can pack up and go home, because we’ve officially reached peak Internet. What we’re saying is that the most Internet-y thing that could happen just did.
The Internet is a place where strangers constantly correct each other, whether or not they know what they’re talking about themselves. Well, a random person just took it upon himself to passive aggressively suggest to the Pope that he read the Bible.
Call us crazy, but we’re guessing that Pope Francis knows a thing or two about the Bible. We’d even go as far to assume that he has indeed read John 14:6.
Obviously, the user who tried to school the Pope on the Bible was trolled mercilessly.
@hansgldnl @Pontifex did u srsly just ask the pope to read the bible

@mediagag @vnnbrg Yesterday I saw a screenshot of a Harry Potter fan 'correcting' J.K. Rowling on 'Potter facts'. Nice runner up.

@ilunatech @mediagag I always liked watching for the white smoke to come out of the bird’s beak when they named a new VP at Twitter.

The thread also spurred quite a religious debate, but we won’t go there.
