Not bad, I like the impressive range of accessories. On the whole, however, I prefer the 3-dimensional version:

(I built one of those for a Catholic relative, who found it cute - apparently did not pick up on the subtle anti-clerical bend.)

I still like the idea of Pope on a Rope, only, they attached the rope at the wrong position.
Of course, they never get things right. I feel that the Homer Simpson Soap on a Rope should actually be called "Dope on a Rope".
Hmm, maybe I should go work in marketing. I'll go see if the See has any jobs going ;-)
