You can singalong with the common Papal...
Pope Francis is previewing his new single, 'Wake Up! Go! Go! Forward!' Yes, you read that correctly. The Pontiff has had his words and prayers set to music by prog rockers Believe Digital.
The parent album includes the very grandiose sounding 'Annuntio Vobis Gadium Mangum', 'Poe Que' Sufren Los Ninos' and 'Non Lasciatevi Rubare La Speranza'.
Whether Il Papa will be gigging in support remains to be seen; we reckon he'd look brilliant on stage wearing a Rick Wakeman-style gold lame cape.
He's expected to tread Irish soil in 2018 when the Catholic Church's World Meeting of Families comes to Dublin. Over the weekend he addressed the United Nations General Assembly, with the War on Drugs and South American narco crime to the fore in his speech.
A few ideas for the LP title - Everyday Papal, Pope Idol, Papa Do Preach, Frankie Says, Vatican Do Attitude and Never Mind The Cassocks.
