What's up with the Popemobile?
It feels like some sort of weird metaphor that he has a special vehicle where he sits there behind glass waving a crowds of people.
It's absurd in the Albert Camus sense.
Surreal.

The reason behind the pope-mobile is protection - one of them was shot at a number of years ago.

Nevertheless...the idea of someone preaching about faith in God while sitting behind bulletproof glass is quite hilarious...

Not sure; did Jesus have a Pope-mobile? Just askin'.

Fuck it here we go again.

There is something crassly hypocritical about religious leaders living in opulence, whilst other people starve.
But then is it more useful to look at the moral failings of other people or at our own?

It was an early edition known as an ass.

I always think of the line from Pale Rider when the hood is trying to buy off the preacher: " you can't serve god and mamon, mamon being money !"
