Popemobile

The popemobile is a somewhat casual, but used, term referring to the speically designed vehicle used to transport the pope. As an elderly fellow who, regardless of physicality, would not be able to withstand crowds or be seen - thus he needs a processionary vehicle. On such display the pope would naturally be a figure of assassination, as such - the popemobile is now fitted with bulletproof glass.
