Please hold the Pope Francis kitsch...



Don't start this crap.

Please leave the new Pope off your mugs and bumper stickers and waving pope avatars in your sidebars.

I received an email last night advertising the mug shown in the photo.

Catholics - knock it off.

  1. kitsch is catholic (small 'c') and always has been. not saying all of it is good or appropriate, but it ... just is.

    i like my BVM holy water bottle.

  4. I'd buy a mug with a seagull on top of the Sistine chimney, but that would be it.

    1. Where do you think? lololol

      I need to see it "in the wild" before I can sow my love offering.

      I'm killing me.

  6. Ha! I found it...and it wasn't where you think, Thom.

    Because I'm so appalled by it, however, I only bought three of them.

    What? Don't look at me like that.

  7. I would buy one--and send it to the Pope as a housewarming gift. Maybe even a set of four!

  8. Susan - I'm thinking now he would get a kick out of that.

  9. I just learned the Argentines are printing t-shirts with his image - so it's all good.
