Though the pope may be technically dead, the Walt Disney company™ has made incredible advances in animatronic technology and we may yet see Pope John Paul Mach 2™ (Xtreme edition) spring into action.

No longer are we limited to gimicky puppets that bob back and forth singing 'its a small world after all'. A new animatronic pope could breakdance, devour countless volkswagens and fight evil in its many forms by utilizing hydrogen fuel cells and high-efficiency hydraulics. Stay tuned, cause the new papacy™ (Xtreme edition) is going to ROCK!
