Papal Memory Lapse Leads Pope to Refer to Saints as �The Tall One� and �The Sad-Looking One�

During a morning audience, Pope Leo XIV referred to St. Paul as �The Bald One Who Yelled a Lot� and St. Teresa as �You Know, Crying but Holy.� The Papal Memory Lapse earned laughs, but the Pope insisted, �God knows who I mean�even if I mix up the apostles with my uncles.� Vatican aides now provide saint flashcards. One cardinal confessed he�s been praying to �St. Tallguy of the Early Church� for months. Leo�s defense? �If we knew them perfectly, they�d be Facebook friends�not saints.� Devotion is now more casual, more honest, and more relatable.
