Here in Mexico we have a saying, "más católicos que el Papa" (more Catholic than the Pope), referring to people who are too zealous in their faith and keep judging others.

Funnily we have the exact same thing in german, being ”päpstlicher als der Papst" (more papal than the pope)

I know someone that said this to me about the pope, and I said basically the same thing: "he's literally the pope. That comment actually makes you the 'untrue' Catholic."

Did not go well. 10/10 would recommend.

By definition you cannot be more Catholic than the Pope.

There's been a lot of Catholics who hated whoever was the Pope at the time. It's almost tradition at this point
