    • I wonder if maybe it's not really the letter "L" that's being misspelled, but rather a strangely shaped "J?" In looking at the other words on the medal, such as "Illi," the letter "L" is shaped differently from what appears to be the "L" in Jesus.

    Oh dear, my joke fell flat.  It was a play on the same mistake made by the Vatican.

    • To be fair, it was the State Mint's fault, to the Vatican's.

    • I wish I had a few of those medals, they're now valuable collector's items.

    Also, though, it's good imagery for this current papacy.  Just as the very word "Jesus" is misspelled so slightly, but not completely, so too is the Church having it's own "misspelling."  And so, too, do we see something "a little off" about Pope Francis.  

    The imagery is great for our current time, and I think the medallion is appropriate.
