Papal carsFirst we had Cardinal Ratzinger's old car sell for about a quarter of a million dollars and now Pope John Paul II's car is for sale.
I just wonder how much Mary's Fiat would go for?
I also posted about Bernadette Subaru before.
Jimmy Akin previously posted that VW was going to build the next popemobile which will be a pickup like vehicle. A papal pickup would be cool if it included a monstrance rack.

Yes the Greek Captcha is a joke
Known as "God's Jester" was a martyr for the faith and a man of wisdom, fun, tricks, poetry, song, and dance. Thus seemed an appropriate Patron Saint of this blog.

Anyone interested in a beaten up '97 Escort with a bad transmission that once belonged to an 11th-tier Catholic apologist and blogger? Anyone? Hello?
You are just bad! Bad bad bad. Next you'll have St. Lucy's Focus.
BTW - what does FIAT stand for?
Answer - Fix It Again Tomorrow!
No no no...
It's gotta be a "Monstrance Truck" that will do arena shows where it will run over broken down, decrepit denominations... er'... cars.
And it'll have a crosier rack.
Don't forget...the Apostles were all in one "Accord".
The chronology in the linked story doesn't work out at all.
"The light blue 1975 Ford Escort GL was originally bought at auction in 1996 for £54,000 by Illinois businessman Jim Rich, who is now selling it."
Then a bit later,
"Rich said he remembers the day in 1998 when he took possession of the car."
I like how Mary has a *pure* *white* *Fiat*, Jeff - I'm sure it's in *immaculate* condition . . .
My brother-in-law has a eucharistic chapel on his ranch (it's been licensed by the abp of Santa Fe for over 100 yrs). A deacon brings the Sacrament around once a month for Adoration and there are several Masses in the summer. A "monstrance rack" might not be a bad accessory out there . . .
"Fiat" is the Latin for Mary's words of acceptance: "let it be done unto me"
Our Lady, already total self-gift to God, would not be in need of a convertible.
Oh that is so funny, and those number plates are a must have!
Hey...I've got an early 13th century donkey cart from Assisi...only the upper classes could afford one of these beauties...hmm...Assisi...upper class...13th century......make me an offer!
Mary's Fiat - I love that.
