(CNN) – For the love of "Lesus," the Vatican needs a copy editor – preferably an infallible one.
In honor of the first year of Pope Francis' papacy, the Vatican issued a commemorative medal Tuesday. The coin-size medals are sold in Vatican City and usually provide a steady stream of revenue for the church.
Just one problem: The Vatican misspelled the name of Jesus on the medal.
One side depicts Francis and the other a biblical phrase in Latin: Vidit ergo Lesuspublicanum ey quia miserando antque eligendo vidit, ait illi sequre me.
The phrase means: Jesus, therefore, saw the tax collector, and because he saw, by having mercy and by choosing, He said to him, "Follow me."
Except the tax collector on this particular coin is part of the heretofore unknown Lesus Movement.
The Vatican made a little error on its new medal made in honor of Pope Francis.
