If I had a nickel for every pope elected during my life who looked like Palpatine at some point in his arc, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

That joke has been done before and no one can out Palpatine pope Benedict.

I’m sorry but Joe Lieberman is the original Palpatine lookalike

No you are correct but in the context of popes and i don't think Joe has ever been elected pope.
