The late Pope was a nightclub bouncer

Investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni, has shared details of one of the most unassuming things the late Pope Francis did before becoming the head of the Catholic Church.

According to him, Pope Francis had an unexpected past as a nightclub bouncer.

On April 21, 2025, in a Facebook post, Manasseh explained that he discovered these details while reading various tributes following the Pope’s recent passing.

He said the notion of the pontiff having worked in the nightlife industry struck a personal chord with him, prompting him to share this information.

“The Pope as a nightclub bouncer,” he wrote.

He added, “Of everything I read, that’s what struck me, and I posted the fact without a comment.”

In response to some people who disagreed with his post, the journalist clarified that his intention was never to downplay or mock the Pope’s legacy.

Instead, he said he sought to challenge a prevalent culture of quick judgment, especially within Christian circles.

Manasseh further drew parallels to the Apostle Paul, who was once a persecutor of Christians but later became one of the most influential figures in Christianity.

His point was to illustrate that individuals can undergo a profound personal transformation, regardless of their past.

“We live in an era when Christians are quick to condemn others without giving them a chance.

“If a nightclub bouncer could rise to become a Pope, then we ought to be careful about the people we write off just because they don’t live like us,” he wrote.

Manasseh, however, expressed disappointment that many readers chose to ignore the deeper moral lesson in his post and instead focused on criticising him.

“Whatever negativity you associated with the post says so much about you, and not the one who posted the fact,” he shared.

Pope Francis died on Monday, April 21, 2025, at his home at the age of 88.

He was the 266th Pope.
