@LandoGriffin
It can also mean father. Also the two words are pronounced slightly different. There's a slight inflection there that most non-native speakers don't pick up on. If you made that joke to a spanish speaker, they would roll their eyes at you because you'd be making a terrible pun.
Also no one, except for kids and people with a terrible sense of humor, thought of potatoes when the pope was picked.
Look think about like this, when you hear the words 'soap opera', you don't imagine a bunch of singing soap bars. |

Well, I don't know what you call the leader of the Anglican church...unless it is Queen Elizabeth II herself. So if these people are Anglican, seems fair enough. Hell, my wife's family are Methodist and I don't know what the head of the Methodist Church is called, either.
PS - in Spanish, the word for "Pope" is identical to the word for "potato" except "Pope" is masculine (El Papa) and "potato" is feminine (la papa) so all the Spanish-languague channels here are proclaiming in their headlines "Tenemos Papa" - "We have a Potato" |

Jeez, I didn't even see the second quote to begin with. I thought we were making fun of the first one. |

I could maybe understand not knowing the Pope's name, but not even knowing what the Pope is seems...weird. Unless you live in a third world country where you have bigger problems to worry about than a dude in a big hat. |

"Why should everyone know every single "clubs" presidents name?!"
Because it's common knowledge? If someone doesn't know what a pope is then there's really something wrong with them. |
