Upvote for Latin, but why is it dative case? I would write it as "urbs et orbis", but I haven't studied a lot of Latin, so I may be missing something :)

The actual wording is "urbi et orbi" (to the city and the world) and it's a specific blessing given out by the pope.

Ah, that makes sense! I'm not too familiar with Catholicism, thus my ignorance.

I see all the memes but what is this orb thing? Can someone give me context? Am I too old to get it?
