One of the famous vehicles is being refitted as a frontline clinic on wheels, following a request by the late pontiff.

    Not really not the onion though. The Pope was apparently calling priests in Gaza almost every day. He believed parking the Popemobile in front of hospitals and children’s clinics would make for really bad optics if (who am I kidding, when) Israel bombs them.

      He was right though, it would look terrible when Israel bombs them.

        Yesterday Israel used a bomb for a gender reveal. They don’t care if they look bad.

          No, they made jokes about how it looked like a gender reveal.

          Fucking Al Jazeera.

              It’s not a comeback, it’s setting the record straight. Repeating false accusations doesn’t help anyone.

          I’m not defending Israel or the folk who did that, just saying that some idiot in southern California did that in the last decade too. Started a big fire. I recall we mocked them in public discourse because we had little other way of venting our frustration that a public employee would burn down an appreciable portion of the state to announce what gender they think their child has.

      Sheesh, imagine being that priest, doing daily status updates skipping about 23 levels of chain of command.

      This Pope had a personal charity underling who would walk the streets of Rome and hand out cash to people who needed it. The money came from selling autographed indulgences. So I’m not surprised in the least.

      My first thought is that seeing a popemobile outside a hospital would cause members of the idf some pause, but I’ve been watching this conflict for almost a century and some 18 year olds would consider it a high score.

            the vatican city is 0.5 km² and located on the edge of downtown rome, if italy wanted to they could annex it in 15 minutes by sending in 100 people, or just block shipments and wait a few days.

    Makes sense, the cardinals probably view it as a failure because they desperately tried to stop people from calling it the Popemobile.

    Just as soon as that dude power washes the Pope stank out. Then they can load it up with fresh, young, traumatized boys.
