The popemobile is also bullet proof, to... erm... supplement the power of prayer.
Usually I’d call someone like that a hypocrite, but considering he took two bullets… I understand why he wouldn’t want a repeat of that experience.
Also...he took two bullets, if his God wanted him dead he had the opportunity.
It's like the question of why wear a bulletproof vest if you're immortal, it's not like divine protection stops bullets from hurting.
I mean, if He's all powerfull, he could stop them from hurting, or even have made them miss.
So not only did He want the pope shot, he wanted it to hurt.
Which leads to the other way around:
If an omnipotent God wants him shot again, then it will happen. No bullet proof vest or glass is going to stop God's will. So why bother?
