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

Someone people turn to when they're sad who makes them feel better.
