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.
Touché
No, they made jokes about how it looked like a gender reveal.
Fucking Al Jazeera.

This isn't the comeback you think it is.
It's not a comeback, it's setting the record straight. Repeating false accusations doesn't help anyone.

They changed the headline on their news story from one to the other.
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.
There are other articles here that don't really read as satire ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Popemobile was Hamas
Say what you will about Pope Francis but he seemed to genuinely care about others.
It's odd, it's almost like that's the way Catholics are supposed to be.
The very start of his time looked really good. Especially in contrast to Pope Palpatine before. Later, a bit more confused.
Some are
There are also the ones who are far right and don't seem to actually can about helping people. Those are the people who make me sick.
The Pope wanting the Catholic Church to touch children one last time.
I wish I can gold this
Yeah, Francis might have done nothing about the problem but he didn't seem to support it like the previous pope Joseph Ratzinger who was pope from 2005 to 2013 when he renounced the papacy, the first pope to do so of their own initiative in over seven hundred years.
Nice
Well at least it is bullet proof....not sure about missile strike proof though.
That cars about to be bombed. I hope they have a spare.
I heard at one point that they have at least one on every continent except Antarctica.
That would make a lot of sense.
Discriminating against penguins again?
Penguins are definitely protestants.
Wonder how long until Israel bombs the Popemobile
A good usage of the vehicle.
Makes sense, the cardinals probably view it as a failure because they desperately tried to stop people from calling it the Popemobile.
Is that an el camino? WTF is that.
Popemobile
They are usually Mercedes vehicles
Doesn't Italy have a ton of car manufacturers? It keeps getting stranger.
Yes, but most of them suck and I don't see the Pope using a Ferrari
Yeah, that's also not great optics...
If you want to think that, that's fine. Yes, they're their own nation, but they're linked.
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.
You didn't know what the popemobile is? Wha
Just as soon as that dude power washes the Pope stank out. Then they can load it up with fresh, young, traumatized boys.
We all know that things seen many young traumatized boys.
Yes?
