pope penis tester

In the olden days a woman tried to sneak in as pope; therefore for years, every time there was a new pope, they had a "pope penis tester" check to see if it was really a male. An assistant lifted up the robe, and when the pope penis tester saw the balls, he would proclaim in Latin "They are there" and the pope candidate was allowed to become pope

The job of the "pope penis tester" went out several centuries ago
