Joining the groups of outspoken activists who attach themselves to prominent works of art, Pope Francis has glued himself to the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel to protest climate change.

"We must stop climate change now!" the 86-year-old pontiff said as he hung precariously from the ceiling that features priceless paintings by famed artist Michelangelo. "There is no greater danger to all of God's children than the threat of the temperature of the earth rising slightly and causing inclement weather. All other issues around the world pale in comparison to this."

One of their funniest ever! I have sent it to everybody I know except the Laudato Si leader in my parish.

Come to think of it, maybe she’s exactly who I should send it to...

What the Bee doesn’t know is that Michael Angelo painted portraits of people he was not fan of ( clergy) - placing them into the hell part of the Sistine chapel fresco

“Fracis” is not the pope. Only those who are actual practicing Catholics are eligible.

That said, it is still (if not even the more) a sacrilege to portray Christ’s representative in such satire, in particular while failing to clearly identify this particular man’s counterfeit status.

Don’t call Bruce Jenner “a woman”.
Don’t call “Francis” “pope”.

Fabulous! It is also a sly reference to the self-portrait of Michelangelo on the Sistine Chapel front wall in which he portrayed himself as an empty skin after dealing with the Pope.

Wait a second. You’re supposed to mark this “Catholic Caucus.”
