Prayers for the Holy Father.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be thou our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen..

I forget the name of the Pope’s guards. Aren’t they supposed to be stationed around him? I don’t know what the protocol is during mass.

Humor fail

If that is what was attempted.

Come on, Gunner. Attacking the Pope is not cool or funny.

Looks like a Muslim to me.

Pope attacked

But he didn't get knocked over from what I saw in the video.
