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.
They changed the headline to "jokes about" because you can't prove initial intent. It hardly changes anything.
Again, this isn't the comeback you think it is. Stop dumping for genocidal maniacs.
Blowing up a building for fun and making slightly off colour jokes aren't even close to the same thing.
There's enough accurate information to make Israel look bad, stop making shit up.
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 Popemobile was Hamas
There are other articles here that don't really read as satire ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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
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.
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...
You didn't know what the popemobile is? Wha
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.
We all know that things seen many young traumatized boys.
Yes?
