Because the vehicle exists?

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.

[-] VioletRing@kbin.social 69 points 1 year ago

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

[-] dukk@programming.dev 65 points 1 year ago

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

Does anyone in that cult ever suggest alternatives, or just say ‘Don’t do that’?

[-] ShartyWaffles@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 year ago

No, I traded it for a microphone.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

A microphone?!

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

If everything in his crackpot sandstorm hallucination of a religion is correct I imagine his toes are quite toasty about now.
