Pope's last poop as pope

[Tero]

Has this been properly documented? And if a pope meets a bear in the woods, who poops first?

Seeing as the pope uses the royal "we", this will be a case of the royal flush.

They have a suitable device to allow it to be thoroughly inspected * ...

As a consequence, certain traditions stated that popes throughout the medieval period were required to undergo a procedure wherein they sat on a special chair with a hole in the seat. A cardinal would have the task of putting his hand up the hole to check whether the pope had testicles, or doing a visual examination.[citation needed] This procedure is not taken seriously by most historians, and there is no documented instance. It is probably a scurrilous legend based on the existence of two ancient stone chairs with holes in the seats that probably dated from Roman times and may have been used because of their ancient imperial origins. Their original purpose is obscure.

* Apocryphal.

[Coito ergo sum]

I think if anyone needs to be checked for testicles, it's some of the Catholic nuns.....

Where else do you think holy water comes from?
