In an unprecedented turn of events, the world is set to witness the most extravagant checkout line ever formed, as Pope Francis prepares to make his final exit from the Vatican this Saturday. Following his 88 years of heavenly service, the Pope's death by stroke and heart failure has not only left a profound impact on the global religious community but has also ignited a frenzy among eager fans of the papal checkout line. As the clock strikes noon, eager mourners, world leaders, and vatican officials are expected to congregate outside St. Peter's Basilica in hopes of grabbing a prime spot in the infamous 'Final Mass Checkout Line.' Witnesses assure that this will be a checkout line like no other, featuring a remarkably diverse array of holy souvenirs like papal memorabilia, exclusive rosaries, and even a limited edition “Sainthood Starter Pack." Church officials have announced that, out of respect for the dearly departed pontiff, the line will not just be a mere queue but a spiritual journey, with "Stations of the Checkout." Each station will allow attendees to reflect on the Pope's life, pen a final note of gratitude, or, for those pushed for time, swipe their cards to buy holy water in bulk. Tens of thousands have already paid their respects at the Pope's lavish viewing, where a giant inflatable Pope Francis lit up in whimsical colors entertained the masses while they waited to file past his casket. Vatican spokespersons are hoping the same spirit of gaiety continues throughout the checkout extravaganza, dubbing it "The True Meaning of Line-Catholicism." The Vatican's innovative crowd management operation has enlisted a fleet of nuns trained in queue formation, ensuring that no one gets lost in the holy hustle. Attendees will be treated to complimentary divine snacks, like communion wafers served with a twist of Vatican-approved cheese spreads. A sermon on the importance of patience in line is also rumored to be streamed live on giant screens, just in case anyone gets restless. As the grand final checkout mass unfolds, Pope Francis’ coffin will ceremoniously roll through the Basilica on a conveyor belt, all while soothing harpsichord music plays to ease the somber mood. His body is set to be entombed at the Basilica of St. Mary Major—making him the first pope to be buried outside the Vatican, ensuring that legions of tourists will forever form an impromptu line outside to pay tribute to the beloved pontiff. So, grab your favorite saintly snacks and practice your most reverent line-dance moves because this isn’t just any checkout line—it’s a heavenly farewell to a Pope who has left indelible marks on the church, humanity, and checkout lines for generations to come.
