Pope Crave, a parody social media account, gained notoriety during the recent papal conclave by quickly reporting news faster than mainstream outlets. Initially started as a fan account for an Oscar-nominated film, it pivoted to cover the conclave after Pope Francis's death. Managed by Susan Bin and Noellia Cabellero, the account mixes humor and advocacy, especially within the queer Catholic community. Their rapid updates during the conclave, as well as the creation of memes, reflect a new form of engagement and political expression.
"Pope Crave has quickly risen as a reliable news source for the papal conclave, even surpassing traditional outlets like CNN and the BBC."
"Creating memes and content about significant events like the conclave is a form of political expression, particularly within the context of societal repression."
