It's Sunday


The Vatican has withdrawn from sale 6,000 copies of a new papal medal after finding that the inscriptions on them were spelled not Jesus, but Lesus.

Medals and coins depicting Pope Francis and Jesus Christ were minted for sale to collectors around the world. Such items are made for every new pontiff and serve as a source of extra income for the Vatican.

[...]

Circling the rim of the medallion runs Pope Francis’ personal motto, a phrase in Latin: “Vidit ergo Jesus publicanum, et quia miserando atque eligendo vidit, ait illi, ‘Sequere me.’” [Jesus therefore sees the tax collector, and since he sees by having mercy and by choosing, he says to him, ‘follow me.’]

Take that, Pope Frank, says the Vatican’s money collectors.
[Someone tweeted]: "I blame the Lesuits."
