Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Popemobile.
To mark His Holiness Pope Francis’ first visit to the US of A, Snapchat has rolled out an epic filter specific to current users in the Washington DC area – the Pope’s first stop – as a LOL tribute to his preferred mode of transport aka a modified Jeep Wrangler.

In case your brain is failing you, the filter is a fabulous/poignant nod to Chamillionaire’s, Ridin’ (for the record – what a B.A.N.G.E.R).
The stunt’s working out so nicely that there are whispers similarly hilarious filters will be available to users when Pope Francis swings past Philadelphia and New York later this week.
What will they think of next?
Via Time.
