No, I haven't lost my mind. I know that our pope, God love his soul, is Catholic.
I'm looking for the board game by the same name.
My mom went to a party last night with some church friends and they played "Is the Pope Catholic?" which is, apparently, a board game in which players answer questions about Catholic saints, the Catechism and some pre-Vatican II trivia. My mom said they had a great time with it, but it's not produced anymore. Does anyone know where to get one?

"IS THE POPE CATHOLIC !?! THE CATHOLIC NOSTALGIA GAME" offers 2-6 players the opportunity to test themselves (in a somewhat humorous vein) on pre Vatican II Catholic doctrine.
ReplyDeleteWhile it can be played as a trivia game by non-Catholics, a handicap is definitely in order if one of the players is Catholic... and, especially, an older practicing Catholic.
The object of the game is to be the first player to ascend the Papal throne by completing "a six-decade rosary" around the board and advancing through the Church hierarchy.

Good luck. It looks like if you can find it, it'll be a bit pricey.
Have a merry Christmas!
