Oh, Jesus! Vatican medal recalled for misspelling the Lord's name
We won't lie, we've all made embarrassing spelling mistakes in the past. Of course when it's a word you should be intimately familiar with, given your profession, it becomes a little bit harder to excuse. To commemorate Pope Francis' first year as pope, the Vatican issued a medal engraved with a Latin phrase that the pope says inspired him to become a priest. The problem? They misspelled Jesus.
