I'm not Catholic, but I've always had good feelings about Pope Francis. And now I know why. I wonder if it's 3-pin or 4-pin? Seems like XLR is more consistent with trinitarian theology.

I know it can't possibly be Hi-Z, because two wires would be dualistic, and dualism isn't orthodox.

I used to turn to the other guys on-stage and say "First word! First word!" At which they'd feed me with "I've got sunshine..." or "I've got...," or even just "I've..." and I'd be ok.

Damn I thought this was gonna be someone asking 'what's the absolute BEST mic' and someone was gonna have to say 'it depends' again.

I'm an atheist, but I have to say I think Francis is a good guy, as far as Popes go.

So is that an Italian mic, or did he bring his own from Argentina?

That looks like a nice, humble mic for Francis. I'm surprised the last guy didn't use something like this...
