The saying "more Popish than the Pope" refers to someone who is excessively or overly devoted to the Pope or the Roman Catholic Church. 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.
