Pope Francis Condemns Baby Yoda
During a passionate speech delivered from the Vatican, Pope Francis said Christians should “resist the cuteness of consumerism’s latest virus known as Grogu.” His Holiness spoke at length about the dangerous obsession people have taken with the green alien better known as Baby Yoda.
Francis was particularly appalled by the rise of Baby Yoda tree toppers and Nativity scenes with the breakout star of The Mandalorian in place of baby Jesus. “It’s sacrilege, no matter what you call him. This Star Wars alien is a virus created by Satan to attack our faith at its roots. The Dark One wants people to believe in objects they own instead of our Lord and Savior during Christmas.”
The Pope’s message seems to have fallen on deaf ears, however, as retailers nationwide are reporting Baby Yoda sell-outs in virtually very category—from toys and pajamas to Christmas decorations. “We’re already taking pre-orders for Easter merchandise featuring Grogu,” said Target’s Head of Operations, Tracy Shultz.
