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 63 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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’?
