cappie Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 At an audience on Wednesday, February 5, Pope Francis was introduced to a life-size sculpture of himself, carved from a 1.5-ton block of dark chocolate. The tasty Pope Francis is the work of chocolate artist Mirco Della Vecchia, an instructor at Rome’s Accademia de Maestri Cioccolatieri. Della Vecchia and his 20 students worked for a full month to create the chocolate pontiff, using dark chocolate from Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. :eat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG45 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Remember how the ancient Romans accused Christians of being cannibals? Let's face it, we'd all eat that chocolate Pope, and they'd claim they were right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentJoy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Remember how the ancient Romans accused Christians of being cannibals? Let's face it, we'd all eat that chocolate Pope, and they'd claim they were right. The Chocolate Pope is only a symbol of the body of the Vicar of Christ. They would accuse us of being Baptists.

arfink Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The Chocolate Pope is only a symbol of the body of the Vicar of Christ. They would accuse us of being Baptists. And the Iconoclasts would accuse us of making an idol and demand an immediate and delicious iconoclasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 White chocolate would have looked good for the cassock & zucchetto :) but white chocolate isn't actually chocolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
