Google considers Benedict the pope?
« on: July 03, 2022, 01:09:56 PM »
Noticing how short pope Francis is compared to Musk in the recent photo of them, I was curious the pope's height.  So, I Google: "how tall is the pope?"

What was interesting was the result: Benedict is 5'7".

See photo attached.

Interestingly, I looked it up and found that Bergoglio is listed at 5'7", while Musk says he's 6'2".  One of those numbers is clearly wrong, since Musk towers over Bergoglio by at least 8-10 inches in that picture.  Must tweeted out his height at 6'2" and I suspect that it's accurate.  I'd put Bergoglio at no more than 5'4".

Here's the difference between 6'2" (Lavrov) and 5'7" (Putin)


6'2" (Trump) and 5'7" (Putin)


And here's alleged 6'2" (Musk) and 5'7"? (Bergoglio)

Looks like Musk is standing in front of the pope.  That might account for the discrepancy.

Maybe by 6 inches, not enough to account for that much of a height difference.  Old people do shrink as they age (my parents both did).  Bergoglio can't be taller than 5'4".
