The Pope Wiped Out [Video]

Pope Francis took something of a tumble on Saturday, although I think what we really need to talk about is his new album.
<> on November 26, 2014 in Vatican City, Vatican.

Pope down, I repeat Pope down!

Luckily Pope Francis tends to be a touch more reasonable than Robert Mugabe, so I don’t expect anyone to be fired or publicly berated for the role they played in the 78-year-old suffering a stumble.

The holy man took a knee whilst climbing the steps in St. Peter’s Square on Saturday, although what we really need to be talking about is this:

On Friday, Pope Francis released his first pop-rock album in Italy.

Wake Up!, an 11-track Vatican-approved album, features many of the most moving addresses of Pope Francis’s papacy laid over rap, pop-rock and Latin rhythms.

And now, for your listening pleasure, is one of those 11 tracks – this one titled ‘Wake Up! Go Go! Forward!’

Inspiring stuff, the above song carrying this description:

Wake Up! Go! Go! Forward!” finds Pope Francis addressing a South Korean audience in English last year amid atmospheric synths, trumpeting horns and skyscraping electric guitars…

Rock out with your frock out Pope Francis.
