Mercedes just gifted the most awesome pope-mobile for the pope!
Pope Francis, the man who calls for simplicity, now greets pilgrims in a vehicle more luxurious than most of us will ever sit in.
Mercedes-Benz has delivered an all-electric Popemobile — a pearly white chariot tailored for modern holiness.
Yea I bet you didn’t know that someone out there bothers to customise, build and deliver a special automobile just for the pope!
The irony of the Vatican championing environmentalism while bathing in the glow of a luxury SUV isn’t lost on anyone.
“Every detail is perfection,” the Mercedes CEO proudly declared.
Crafted with hundreds of hours of meticulous work, it is a fine piece of engineering.
The Pope has emphasized care for the environment throughout his papacy.
His encyclical on climate change, “Laudato Si’,” reads like a green manifesto.
Yet, until now, he’s been chauffeured in hybrids or even fossil-fuel models.
