Probably not worth a new thread, but still.
Bolivian President Evo Morales presents Pope Francis with a crucifix carved into a wooden hammer and sickle, in La Paz, Bolivia, Wednesday, July 8, 2015. The crucifix is a replica, originally designed by Jesuit activist Luis Espinal, who was assassinated in 1980 by suspected paramilitaries during the months that preceded a military coup. Even though the Vatican was not expecting the unusual gift, it is seeking to explain the "Communist crucifix" given to Francis, saying it's a symbol of dialogue and not an offensive melding of faith and ideology.
The Pope looks like he's about to ask: "What the hell is this, you dumba$$?"

It would be a lot more offensive - or maybe more appropriate - to have a crucifix carved into a dollar sign...
