Kerning is the typographic term for the spacing between letters or characters in a piece of text to be printed.

Keming is what it looks like when you fuck up the kerning.

I make no opinion on the Catholic faith or the Pope, but this just seems unusually lazy to mess up on such a high profile commission. No one spotted this before unveiling??

I agree with you. I'm just saying that "kerning" is the name of the process that they didn't do. I bet the maker hadn't heard of it before the world saw this stone, and they probably fired their craftsmen when they got cnc engraver because "how hard could it be?"
