‘At my age I don’t have much to lose’: Pope Francis ditches the bulletproof Popemobile which has protected pontiffs since 1981
From the article:
Pope Francis has announced he will no longer used a bullet-proof Popemobile as the glass ‘sardine can’ keeps him away from the people.
The armoured vehicles were introduced after the 1981 assassination attempt of Pope John Paul II in a bid to prevent further attacks on the leader of the Roman Catholic Church.
During the interview with a Spanish newspaper which was reported by Vatican Radio, Pope Francis said: ‘It is true that anything could happen, but let’s face it, at my age I don’t have much to lose.’

He continued: ‘I know that something could happen to me, but it’s in the hands of God.’

And all the world wondered after the Beast…
