Another one from the
You Can't Make This Up File. In early October
according to the Catholic Herald, Bieber,
"paid
£16,000 for a private tour of Vatican City, taking in the Vatican
museum and the papal apartments, which are not occupied by Pope Francis.
But it is understood that he irritated staff when he began to kick a
ball around the corridors."
Recall in October, Francis also
rented out the Sistine Chapel to Porsche for $255,000. Cha-ching, the Vatican must have been raking in the moola for the month of October. Maybe, they added it to the
'recently discovered' (and we use those terms loosely) largess of off-balance sheet riches. Remember the time
Francis almost caught a baseball at his general
audience, then autographed the ball? No profanity seems off-limits at
the Vatican. Francis' relaxed style and devil may care attitude towards papal protocol seems to have influenced Bieber and his behavior which in our opinion belongs on a football pitch. We do wonder if Bieber was shown
Francis' Shrine to Football on his
Vatican Tour?

Look at the photo below also from Bieber's instagram account. Dear reader, if you were dressed like this would you be let into the Vatican? We know we here at
Call Me Jorge... would be refused entry. The
Vatican's website clearly states,
- Required clothing -
Access to Vatican Museums, Sistine
Chapel, Vatican Gardens and Saint Peter's Basilica is permitted only to
visitors dressed appropriately (no sleeveless blouses, no miniskirts, no
shorts, no hats allowed).
Were guessing
that some people are
more equal than others in the eyes of the Vatican. What was Francis
ranting on the other day? Oh that's right, we remember he told Henrique Cymerman,
"Money is the god and we are guilty of worshiping idols, the idols of wealth,"
or the time he said to Antonio Spadaro,
"The church sometimes has locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules."
Worshiping money must be one of those small-minded rules Francis so loves to break! After all it must get expensive running a "field hospital" attending to all the wounded of the Novus Ordo church. As the expression goes, money talks and people walk, or something similar to that. It seems like we at
Call Me Jorge... are not the only ones to see through the facade of
Francis' (do as I say not as I do)
revolution (unless it denigrates Catholic tradition).
Hey, when you are like Francis and have no respect for the Vatican, the papal office you are occupying, or for yourself why should you expect anyone else to? These two videos demonstrate how South Americans and Europeans portray Francis...as a joke.
Sadly, he is far more dangerous to many souls than a joke.
