It took about a week for visitors to the massive Catholic cathedral in Cologne, Germany, to notice a small addition to its ornate Gothic entrance — a carved stone figure of Pope Francis leaning forward like a gargoyle.
The new gargoyle is smiling and there’s no water spouting out of his mouth, so it doesn’t resemble the ghoulish medieval drains jutting out from famous old cathedrals around Europe. Instead, the figure is a small decoration, like many other little statues in nooks and crannies all around the building.

Saint Theodore the Studite has the most fitting comment imho.
Call it a twofer.
Grotesque.
Not as in “gross,” as in “the just for decoration one is a grotesque.”
