Pope mobile (1986-1987)



In 1985 Harry Vermegen and Henk Spaan gave a persifage on the visit of the Pope in their Programme Pisa with Popie Jopie of the TV channel Veronica. For Pablo this was the motive to put down his opinion on the visit and the church in general from a critical point of view, but still with humour: cartoons in ceramics.
In the television programme Applause that was broadcast by the KRO in 1987 he said : I know the Church from the inside. I have nostalgic memories. But I have also a bone to pick with the Church. The way he presented the cardinals and the car of the pope were maybe provocative, but had in his opinion nothing disgraceful. "We catholics are doing that" he said.
