Infallibly good fun.

  That’d be great craic, dunno if something the Pope rode in quite goes with the whole pro-choice thing though. But nice idea

Hey! That’s cheating. That’s a 2010 Mercedez, the Pope’s cabin was on the back of a Ford!!

Still though, needs curtains.

  It’s (according to the radio) the old little house on a brand new chasis. The original chasis was, indeed, a ford.
  
  Also, there were two popemobiles (for logistics). One was destroyed after the visit.

What a con job.

They totally gave the impression they had the original Pope Mobile.

Well they don’t. They have the passenger area from the back of it and stuck it on the back of a brand new truck.

Well masters of fakery are obviously best suited to faking this too.

All that’s needed is a bar in the back of it to get Pope JP up to 1500 rpms in his grave.
