Trisha Paytas is confused AF -- she says she has no clue why folks think her unborn kid is the reincarnated Pope Francis, who just died Monday.

Trisha was totally baffled -- pointing out the Pope isn’t part of the British monarchy like the Queen was. But, she was informed that, apparently, it’s not just royals -- fans think any major figure who dies while she’s pregnant could be lining up for a comeback through her womb.
