The head of the Catholic church, who usually prefers more modest cars like Fiats and Fords, was presented with a special edition Lamborghini Huracan on Wednesday.
The vehicle costs around 180,000 euros (over $210,000), but with the Pope's autograph it will be much more valuable.
The sports car will be auctioned by Sotheby's, with the money from the sale being invested into the reconstruction of Iraqi Nineveh, a region where Christians used to live in the past.

I may not be a Catholic, but I commend @Pontifex Pope Francis, for donating the $200k Euro Lamborghini he was blessed with to charity. Can other spiritual leaders take a cue from this?

I think a @Lamborghini would make an awesome new #Popemobile for @Pontifex! But the money raised by auctioning it off is amazing.
