Swinging with a perfect arc it would thud into the pope’s head with just enough force to hurt anyone who was still alive, and get a response.
However seeing as they’re still using a hammer to test for brain activity - we can assume the Catholic Church isn’t that friendly to science or something.

I shit you not, it took the Catholic Church until the 1800’s to finally accept that the Earth revolves around the fucking Sun. Maybe the 1750’s if someone’s feeling generous, but they were still censoring Galileo’s and Copernicus’s books at that time.
