On the Internet, as we know, nothing is sacred. So naturally, Wednesday’s election of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope Francis I has inspired the inevitable avalanche of “new pope” memes. IBTimes culled together some of the most irreverent Francis-inspired memes we could find to celebrate the announcement of the new pontiff. For anyone who is a little poped out from the wall-to-wall news coverage, they’re a godsend. Heaven help us.
