Can't pass up a Popemobile headline

I'm a sucker for the Popemobile. Now I can't stand the Catholic church as an institution but I love that they actually have a Popemobile. In fact they have many to deal with different locations, terrains and situations. You'd think the Pope could just use his holiness and being chosen by God to avoid sniper bullets, knife wielding maniacs, the twenty-first century and logic.

Anyway CBC ran this headline "Pope unhurt after man lunges at popemobile." What they don't say is "man crushed by popemobile." I guess technically he was smote by the popemobile, or possibly just roughed up by men in orange and purple rennaisance faire attendee costumes known as the Swiss Guard.
