How PopeWatch wishes this were the worst that could be said of the Pope:
Pope Francis was caught on video proclaiming that Scotch whisky is “the real holy water” — a good-spirited joke to a group of visiting Scottish student priests who presented him with a bottle.
But the Vatican sought to avoid a brew-haha by censoring the footage ahead of an upcoming documentary about seminarians at the Scot College in Rome, according to the Scottish Daily Record.
The video showed the 83-year-old pontiff accepting the bottle of Oban 14 malt from the students during an event at the Apostolic Palace last year, but Vatican media said the clip in question has been cut from the one-hour BBC documentary “Priest School,” which will air Sunday.

He tells jokes? Jokes that aren’t aimed at belittling people or good ideas? Who knew?
OK, the man enjoys a good whiskey. This means, maybe, just maybe, we could talk. But it’s a long shot and on a good day, only.
“Pope Francis was caught on video proclaiming that Scotch whisky is “the real holy water” ….. Oban 14 malt..”
Highland? Lol. Not a chance. Too smooth. Way too common.
Islay! Laphroaig specifically, that’s the real thing.
