15 Interesting Facts About Popes

The Pope has a cool car

The Popemobile is the name of the car that was specially designed for the Pope. Before, the Pontiff was carried by 12 people on a special throne (which is also not a bad way to travel), but as technology has advanced, the throne was substituted for a car. Why does the car have such a peculiar shape, you ask? This is because believers want to be able to see the head of the Catholic church while he moves around the city.
