Pope Clement VIII Declares Coffee So Delicious It Should Be Baptized

Did you know coffee was almost banned by the Catholic Church?

In the 16th century, some leaders called coffee the "devil's drink" because it came from the Muslim world. Fearing it was corrupting Europe, they begged Pope Clement VIII to ban it.

But after one taste, the Pope declared it so good… it should be baptized.

That single sip helped launch coffee culture across Christian Europe. From a supposed sin to a sacred sip - this is the bizarre true story of how the Pope saved coffee.
