It's this kind of thing that must drive the Bee's editors crazy — how can they possibly keep up?

Saw the headline below, and assumed it was a story from the Babylon Bee. Nope; just ol’ Popie driving home the final nails into the dying corpse of Catholic Christianity

Vatican Unveils Palestinian Nativity with Jesus on Keffiyeh

The Times of Israel reported on Dec. 8:

Pope Francis on Saturday attended the inauguration of a seasonal nativity scene, presented by Palestinian officials, that featured a baby Jesus lying on a keffiyeh, the traditional scarf used by Palestinians as a national symbol.

Speaking at the event, a wheelchair-bound Francis called on believers to “remember the brothers and sisters, who, right there [in Bethlehem] and in other parts of the world, are suffering from the tragedy of war,” adding, “enough war, enough violence!” and lamenting the existence of the commercial arms trade.

The keffiyeh-draped cradle, which will be displayed in the Paul VI Hall, is one of a series of nativity scenes collectively titled “Nativity of Bethlehem 2024,” designed by artists Johny Andonia and Faten Nastas Mitwasi, both Palestinians from Bethlehem, according to Vatican News.
