It suggests that the person is more zealous or extreme in their beliefs or practices than even the Pope himself. The phrase is often used to criticize individuals who are perceived as being too extreme or fanatical in their adherence to Catholicism.

A person that's "more Popish than the Pope" is somebody who thinks he's speaking from a much higher moral ground and thinks he knows everything about morality and faith, when in reality, he doesn't.
