Pope Jokes Whisky Is ‘The Real Holy Water’ As He Is Presented With A Bottle
The Vatican has censored footage of the Pope admiring a bottle of scotch and declaring it 'the real holy water' in a good-natured joke with visiting Scottish priests.
The footage was captured during the filming of a documentary following seminarians at the 404-year-old Scots College in Rome.
In the censored clip, Pope Francis was captured accepting a bottle of Oban malt whiskey, distilled in the Scottish town by the same name, during a reception at the Vatican's Apostolic Palace last year.
