The popularity of Where's the Pope? led to increased acceptance of punk, hardcore bands into mainstream venues throughout Adelaide. Although the group went through many line-up changes, they maintained an intensely loyal following among the skating and surfing fans, and southern and coastal areas of Australia. The group featured on skate or BMX videos including ones on Volatile Visions. In 1986 Curran was replaced on guitar by Geoff Goddard.
In June 1988, Where's the Pope? released an eight-track album, 'Straightedge Holocaust', on Reactor Records. At about this time, Rady was replaced on drums by Jacob Curtis. In March 1990, the line-up of Pappagalo, Stafford, Goddard and Curtis, issued their album, 'Sunday Afternoon BBQ's' on Greasy Pop Records. According to Rhys Davies, on Kill from the Heart website, it was "different from the first record. Lyrically the record was devoted almost entirely to beer, while musically the band seemed to have shed its loose, hardcore edge". Soon after Goddard was replaced by Jack Jacomas on guitar and Curtis was replaced by Rady returning on drums, although he was replaced in turn by Scott Nadebaum. By 1992 Goddard had returned on guitar. In July 1994 they issued a self-titled six-track extended play with all the lyrics written by Pappagalo and music composed by the group. In 1994 Goddard was replaced by Scott Kivelhan on guitar. Alex Madigan on guitar replaced Kivelhan in 1998. In March 1999 the group issued their final album, 'PSI', which was produced by Tony Nesci for Resist Records.
The line up for their final show was Frank Pappagalo on vocals, Rob Stafford on bass guitar, Scott Nadebaum on drums and Alex Madigan on guitar. The band split in 1999 just after releasing their final album, 'PSI', on Resist Records. One of their final shows was at the Holdfast Hotel in Glenelg and two more shows were scheduled to accommodate all the fans. Where's the Pope? reunited in January 2005 for a show at the Enigma Bar, Adelaide, selling out within an hour of the doors opening. Another reunion gig occurred in June 2006.
