Jesus Misspelled By Vatican? You Had One Job, My Son

If anyone should be able to spell Jesus it’s the Vatican.

But somehow, someway, through some divine comedy of errors, the word “Jesus” was misspelled on thousands of Vatican medals commemorating first year of Pope Francis’ pontificate.

Yes, all hail Lesus. The Vatican medals hit the holy store on October 8 but were removed a few days later when someone noticed that Jesus had been misspelled. The Vatican removed the medals, which were created in gold, silver and bronze by the Italian State Mint, but not before four of the medals were purchased.

Apparently Vatican withdrawing #PopeFrancis medal cuz has “Lesus” instead of “Jesus.” The 4 already sold will be collector’s items.
