You'd think god would protect the pope so they wouldn't need bulletproof glass.

Almost like the pope doesn't trust him or ... gasp, doesn't believe it to exist.

God gave us the power to make the popemobile. Checkmate atheists.

Did he suggest an alternate term, or just say 'stop calling it that'?

[–] dukk@programming.dev 65 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As stated clearly in the article, the term is not “popemobile”, but rather “undignified”.

No, I traded it for a microphone.

I love that description! "In 2002 he asked to stop calling it the popemobile, (so anyway...) in 2008 the popemobile..." lol
