Of Kia Motors’ Soul boxy compacts used by Pope Francis during his visit to South Korea from Aug. 14 to 18, two will be donated to the Vatican, the preparatory committee for the papal visit said on Thursday.

Another “Papal Mobil,” kept by the archbishop of Seoul, will be put on public display in Seoul, the committee said.

Before his trip to South Korea, Pope Francis reportedly conveyed to the committee his wish to use a small car during the visit.

The 77-year-old pontiff has vowed not to use bullet-proof vehicles since he took over the papacy in March last year.
