The American version of the Pope-mobile (the little Fiat that he rode in when he visited America) is going on the auction block in Philly. Anybody bidding? You could have your very own holy roller. ---

Got a link? What about the white Jeep Wrangler he rode in? ETA: and why isn’t this thread about the Oakland Raiders? 😃 ---

I saw a story about that earlier today. When I read that the “Papal Fiat” was going up for auction, I assumed that it was a joke story from _The Onion_ or some such source. I was surprised on reading the article that it was a real thing. Maybe one of the major auto manufacturers could make a car called the “Infallibility” and have the Pope ride in that, too? ---

Neither link works; need to add a “:” after “http”. How about they use the proceeds to pay back the city, suburbs, state, & federal governments some of the millions it cost us for this religious experience. ---

When His Holiness decrees that his wheels in America shall be a humble economy-size Italian automobile, is that a Papal Fiat?
