In summary, Don Novello, aka Father Guido Sarducci, was a character on NY Saturday Night Live who made fun of Vatican related stuff in a non-confrontational way. His game was part of his comedy routine. It's not a real game although someone, later on, might have made one to imitate.

A recent article on an 1860's painting of a girl with a prayerbook that looks suspiciously like an iPhone.

Who knew iPhones would be so popular? :-)

Very interesting your post. ¿A pope in a pizza? ¿Can you help me understanding these words? I am not native.
Greetings!

Ok, as I understand, there was (or there is) a game, which consist in finding popes in a pizza. In Spain there is a similar game: on the 6th of January, families buy some kind of circular cake, which contains a little figure. We cut in pieces the cake, and the one who finds by chance the figure in his/her piece, pays the cost of the cake.
Greetings!
