History
Susan Bin, a fan of Conclave, created a fan account for the film in December 2024. Conclave is a 2024 political thriller film about a fictional conclave, the selection of a new pope of the Catholic Church.[2][3] Since its founding, the account has posted memes about the film.[2][3] The account's name—with the display name Pope Crave and the username @ClubConcrave—is inspired by Pop Crave, a celebrity news account and ClubChalamet, a Timothée Chalamet fan account.[4]
In February 2025, the account created a charity Conclave fanzine to fundraise for the Intersex Human Rights Fund, the Freedom Fund, and Librarians & Archivists With Palestine.[5]
Pope Francis died on April 21, 2025; Pope Crave received many direct messages about his death.[6] There were memes about the real-life conclave following Francis' death; the rise in memes was partially attributed to Pope Crave.[7][8][9] The account received attention for its coverage of the 2025 conclave, with administrators posting updates from Vatican City throughout the process.[10] The Tab reported that Pope Crave was considered the go-to account for news about the conclave.[11]
When Pope Leo XIV was confirmed to be the next pope, the account expressed concern over his previous comments on LGBTQ affairs. One of the administrators of the account wrote: "Our new Pope has spoken against 'Western' leniency towards LGBTQ+ individuals and against 'gender ideology' in Peru. As a lesbian Catholic, I am disappointed."[12]
