The popemobile is also bullet proof, to... erm... supplement the power of prayer.
Usually I’d call someone like that a hypocrite, but considering he took two bullets… I understand why he wouldn’t want a repeat of that experience.
Weirdly “it’s gods will” doesn’t apply in this case.
I mean it does, god wanted him to get shot twice and survive and then build a bulletproof popemobile to not get shot a third time.
God's will is a pretty ironclad argument as long as you don't really believe in free will, or at least believe that God is powerful enough to know how every decision will be made in spite of free will.
