There are now; for a few years, there were four popes/km^(2).
(Area of Vatican City is 0.44 km^(2))

There is only one living Pope.

Yes, but for several years there was a Pope Emeritus

The joke was in the present tense.

Yes, and because the area of Vatican City is slightly under half a square km, the single Pope gives a Papal density of a little over 2 per square km.

75% of all statistics are made up... Including this one.

Side splitting, that. In what world does a bit of trivia pass as a joke?

The Vatican is 0.17 square miles. As long as there's at least one pope in the country, then that's about 5.88 popes per square mile.
Now, if the pope is only there 1/3 of the time, then the math checks out.

It’s funny because they’re pretending miles are kilometres, in a deadpan tone so that somebody might think it’s just a confused American
