The Pope’s Swag

The Catholic Church banned the sale of indulgences in 1567, but American Catholics looking to spend their money on other kinds of godly souvenirs have had plenty of options this week. Pope Francis’ whirlwind tour of the United States has inspired an accompanying flurry of commercial activity. To mark the historic visit, street vendors are stocking pope shirts, pope hats, pope bracelets, and pope bobbleheads. There is pope cheese that can be spread on pope toast, then washed down with a sampling of pope beers. Upon arriving at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport on Thursday evening, Francis was gifted, to his apparent delight, a friendly-looking pope doll.
