A Brazilian bikini model has joked that she is “going to heaven” after a photograph of her in a skimpy schoolgirl outfit was ‘liked’ by the official Instagram account of Pope Francis.

The Vatican has launched an investigation into how the papal Instagram account, Franciscus, ended up ‘liking’ the risqué image of Natalia Garibotto.

Vatican officials want to know how the embarrassing endorsement happened, amid speculation that someone in the Holy See’s communications team may have accidentally pressed the ‘like’ button while browsing the model’s extensive gallery of images.

Even really dumb people know this was not Francis.

Because everyone knows he'd rather hear a young boy fart than a pretty girl sing.

(thanks to an old, drunken Master Chief for that one)

Popes will be Popes.

At least he like girls, wonder if he visited Epsteins paradise

Uhhhhh, becaaaause he hit the "Like" button maybe?

[D Rider]

I was going to post a picture of her with “Vatican Approved” underneath. But her photos are closer to porn that swimsuit modeling.

[HighSierra5]

Yeah the Poope would rather bugger a little boy.

[Pigsley]

Just me, I guess. But a lot of pics of the Marxist p o p e are going to surface. Not grown women. Just a wild guess.

[Deaf Smith]

I went to the link and did not see any compelling evidence.

I bet Weiner has something to do with it.

[D Rider]

I looked up her name. Plenty of photos online.

So the Communist disguised as a Pope is also a hypocrite that likes big, black Brazilian booties.

The blowing of smoke is more than symbolic when a Pope is chosen...If you know what I mean?

Notice from the Vatican Office of Translation

Before "poor translation" is made the scapegoat of this latest action by the Pope , we would like to post this important announcement to the faithful worldwide.

DO NOT BLAME US!!! This is not a translation issue.

We do not tell our Great Papa what to click on when He is doing the web-surfing, as you say...

He says what he says, clicks on what he likes, and then we try to figure out what it means in Italian, let alone all the languages of the world - and how to justify His actions!

Why did our Father click "like" on the beautiful Brazilian parishioner?

The Father was simply trying to encourage His worldwide flock, wherever they are found. In this case in Brazil, he found a young woman working hard to build a career.

The Father is also located in ROME, which is in Italy. It is culturally acceptable to affirm our beautiful women. Would you expect our Leader to do less?

And Frankly, we "like" her too! She is a woman!

;-)

We are not charged with justifying His actions, nor with perfection in translation. In fact, none of us speak a second language at all!

This may surprise many readers of this notice, so I will describe our role here at Vatican Central... or VeeCee, as we call it.

First, just months ago, we were all homeless on the Streets of Rome.

The translation office is a jobs program for homeless Italians. Through the kindness of the Great leaders at VeeCee, 8 of us were recruited to a very fulfilling job with benefits. Many of us previously used Google Translate, so we had every qualification needed. Please note, our instructions are to get the message out fast. You may have noticed our Great Pope speaks "off the cuff" quite frequently, or as we say here in VeeCee, "between bites of pasta."

For this reason, we are not charged with accuracy, but with speed. Blinding speed. And between you and me, we are fast. We don't like to miss meals. Done is done. Good enough, is good enough.

With this in mind, please try to speak kindly of us so that we can continue in this important role.

Sincerely,
Luigi, Antonio, Giuseppe, Michael, Maria, Giovanna, Francesco, & Concetta

Still, the link of the thread did not provide any evidence of the "Like" in question.

*It is not the court's responsibility to assist in discovery of evidence for the processcutor.

Very disturbing: Out of hundreds, he happened to “like” the one that fetishizes Catholic school-girl uniforms.

LOL!

Master Chief’s drink? Do tell.

Sounds like the old dude was hitting up the bottle.
