Pics: The Pope had to change his clothes somewhere very strange yesterday

Have it your way

Ronald McDonald won’t be happy about this.

Pope Francis, who is visiting the South American nation of Bolivia this week, stopped by a Burger King yesterday evening in order to change into his holy vestments.

The fast food restaurant was fitted with white curtains and surrounded with the Swiss Guard to allow the Pope to safely and privately bless and change his clothes before giving a huge open air mass in Santa Cruz.

It is still unclear just what Plan A was, or why Plan B was a Burger King – but surely the Pope must be wondering if the Dalai Lama has to put up with this when he goes on tour.

While it remains unconfirmed whether there are plans for The Whopper to join the Body of Christ on the communion menu, we are still interpreting this as God’s full endorsement of Burger King as the world’s most divine fast food joint.
