Pope Memory Lapse Becomes Vatican Norm, �We All Forget a Saint or Two� Says Leo XIV

Pope Leo XIV�s recent admission��I confuse St. Benedict with that barista at the Jesuit cafe��has prompted the Vatican to adopt a �Grace Buffer� policy: prayers still count, even with botched names. The Pope Memory Lapse is being spun as relatable holiness. A papal memo now instructs clergy: �If you forget the saint, just whisper �One of the good ones.�� Theologians reluctantly agree. Parishioners are already adopting nicknames like �St. Sparkle� and �Big Marty.� God, it seems, gets the gist.
