Nope. You are wrong, Nerdherder. 
He is not stirring tea, he is testing the latest batch of sacramental wine from the St. Emilion Estate before giving his approval for it to be laid down in the Vatican wine cellars and approving the bulk purchase via Papal Paypal.
Of course, Blib has the final say.

Saw an interview with Tim Peake where he said, sometimes on the ISS, he'd keep his spoon still and spin the mug around it, cus he could, zero gravity and all. Had a lot of respect for him before that; he can FRO now
Any idea what spoons they're using on the ISS?
Galactic Commander Peake. Barely an astronaut and if he's idiot enough to think the space station is unaffected by gravity then he's gone even further down in my estimation. He was 200 miles up FFS, that's not even close to properly being in space. Any idea what spoons they're using on the ISS?

No spoons at all on ISS now, they’re using a Swedish developed ‘teballong’ (tea balloon) which keeps the tea stirred constantly and consistently in zero gravity. Heathens. Any idea what spoons they're using on the ISS?Any self respecting spoonists will know that NASA spent 15 years developing the SP2306 (series 7b) precisely for use on the ISS as normal Earth spoons have the habit of delaminating when not subject to normal gravity.
This was seen as a greater achievement than the Apollo 11 landings with the NASA community but conspiracy theorists have constantly questioned whether these special spoons were actually developed at all and that shop bought Bellhauser XLs were sent up instead.
I’ll leave you to judge.

Papal Paypal. Good and enjoyable retort.In fact The Papa is drinking Mate Yerba tea here through a traditional stirring+drinking tea straw known otherwise as a Bombilla. It’s an Argentinian thing.

Thought i would join in the fun and take a quick photo of my mug storage. It turns out my Butler has been pairing up the Teaspoons and mugs in the wrong combination. Everyone knows the Krupp 95.1 (b) should be paired with the barrel mug due to the unusual barrel shapeage.

Just an interesting bit of spooning related Papal trivia for the enthusiast.It is a little known fact that since the days of Pius the VI, the forehead of a recently deceased Pope is sharply tapped three times with this spoon to prove he is in fact dead.
The ceremony of "Dura ledo eius caput, cochleari" is performed within one hour of his last observed breath by the most senior Cardinal present in The Vatican

Doh! These things are always obvious to the real experts ...How could one enjoy a refreshing beverage that potentially contains dust and insects?
I supose it's to be expected when you get your butler from sports direct.

The word on the street is, they tap the forehead now but they used to tap the knee. It turned out the Pope was just sleeping after a heavy bout of praying and after the tap to the knee and the automatic reflex which resulted in a Bishop getting a swift kick to the testicular region they changed it to the forehead.]

Just realised why I missed it, the mugs are being stored the wrong way up!

This is why it's common practice to ' slosh ' ( technical term ) the mug with boiling water before inserting the Tea bag.How could one enjoy a refreshing beverage that potentially contains dust and insects?
