The irony of the Vatican’s first shopping mall being launched during the pontificate of Pope Francis, a caustic critic of capitalism who has called for “a poor church for the poor,” has been lost on no one.

He’s a communist. Embracing raw capitalism to make a buck. How rich.

I seem to recall a story where Jesus trashed the temple for having a bazaar inside of his father’s house.

Waterpark coming soon…also, ATMs that dispense indulgences. Pope Francis’ hairshirt must have been woven by Brioni.

Guess where checkout is. The confessional, and at which a credit card reader is provided therein. And, the more you charge, the more you are getting closer to God! And don’t forget the poor pets.

I’m curious as to whether Bergoglio’s mall will be open on Sundays.

Tacky. We left a church because they were selling banana bread to raise money. Jesus has a problem with merchandising in church. Y’think He might just stop by the Vatican Mall and start kicking over checkout counters?

After an exhaustive search the pontiff's financial advisors found the right individual to oversee the mall project:
"...a baptismal kiddie pool in the communion food court next to the all-nun Hooters."
