Papal Merchandise
Thanks to Liz for pointing me at Ship of Fools and their alternative take on Papal Merchanise.

This website is actually a Christian one, but it pokes fun at some of the more outlandish aspects. Ridiculous gadgets and “decorative” items are one of its favourite, and it has done a very special page for the Pope’s visit.
I couldn’t possibly comment, as I haven’t seen any of the official merchandise.
Some of the official merchandise isnt much better! It is on BBC website, but I cant find it. On Ship of Fools it also highlights teddy bears dressed as William Carey and Rowan Williams, and the bears looks scarily like the people. I am just relieved that my bear mad aunt didnt know about them, she was a big fan of Rowan Williams.
Perhaps it is me, but so much of that stuff is in my opinion sacriligous tat. My keyring has the Serenity Prayer on, but that is actually for 12 step reasons, not specifically faith. And I dont have any other things like that at all
