In the pub the other day, I heard I bloke on the next table tell his mate that there was once a woman pope and that is the origin of cassocks.

I very much doubt this is true, but is there some grain of truth in it?
 
I take it you are in Jolly ol England (or other parts of the Anglo-sphere) so I wouldn’t put it past that bloke to be a protestant or a general anti-christian. Don’t believe everything you here in the pub, mate.

Not even a grain.

Because I go to the pub or because I said bloke?

Anyway no I’m not an Aussie, @Elias had it right the first time, I’m British.
 
Blokes in the pub speak either pearls of wisdom or utter nonsense, with nothing in between. In this case it was the latter of the two
 
The only grain in this myth is the grain of salt it must be taken with.

mate, there is nothing wrong with mate 🙂

Today in our homily it was explained that the wheat and the darnel ( a toxic bitter grain) is allowed to grow up together, then the darnel is sorted and burned, and the wheat put into the storehouse.

So the question is, is this darnel or wheat
 
What GoM is saying is that s/he confused you for an Aussie because you used the word mate. Not many here in the states are terribly familiar with Angloisms vs Aussieisms.
Assuming GoM is 'Murican that is

I am also British and the word mate is very common in the UK.
