A tourist walks past a Christian souvenir shop with pictures of Pope Francis near Manger Square, on May 21, 2014.

After all, it is not like the Pope will tell them to cut the crap. They know exactly what they are doing and they are using Francis as cynically as they are using the people they chose for the honor of meeting him.
