    History lecture time.
    This guy's just recreating the life of Pope Celestine V.
    A Benedictine hermit, a holy basement-dweller if you will, he became the Vicar of Christ in August 1294.
    Celestine V was also in his 80's, and had spent so much time in sacred solitude that he no longer observed social conventions like personal hygiene. Not only did he refuse to bathe, but while on the papal throne he would relieve himself and sit for hours in his own filth, like the guy in the pic.
    He was tricked into reg in December 1294.
    Hopefully, they burned the papal throne.
    Truth is stranger than Fandom.
