While some tweeters were interested in the Pope’s arrival, others latched on to the necessary details of the material world concerning the Pope. From his struggles with the winds to his car choice.

If Pope Franics were really cool, he'd have gone from the popemobile to the popeboat to the popecopter just like Batman. Evildoers beware.

One person even commented on the First Lady’s outfit.

Things became political quickly.

The Pope told Obama he's not happy about the abortion culture, so Obama told the Pope he's pissed about The Crusades.
