Pope to be driven in Škoda car during Irish Catholic gathering

Pope Francis will be driven in a Škoda car at the World Meeting of Families 2018 in Ireland next week, the Czech News Agency reported. The Czech-based automaker is an official partner of the major Roman Catholic gathering and the pontiff is due to travel to the Irish president’s residence in a Škoda Rapid next Saturday.

A number of Rapids have been specially fitted out for the World Meeting of Families, including with chrome poles to hold Vatican flags.
