CAPTION THIS: When il Papa Met il Bambino

"Shhh... Don't cry, little one. I didn't outlaw the Traditional Latin Mass. Didn't your mother ever tell you Rorate Cæli is bad for you?" (Full story here. Picture c/o: L'Osservatore Romano/Reuters)

Thank you to everyone who participated in our last caption contest! We finally finished eating the chocolate Pope evaluating the entries, and the winner is...

Sue, who reminds us of the true meaning of Easter:
"Ehhhh, it's OK. But it's no Cadbury Creme Egg."
 An honourable mention is also awarded to Rachel Chamberlain, who kept her focus on Lent:
"Man, you get the feeling that they really want me to have a daily reminder that to dust I shall return."
Brava, ladies! Gentlemen, don't be such crybabies over your loss. You fought the good fight, and you can take up arms again by leaving your captions in the comments below!

  7. Francis: Really? Wearing MY outfit to the party?

    Kid: You're not the ONLY one who thinks that wearing white to honor Pius V who chose not to shed the white cassock of his Dominican brothers upon being elected to the papacy is FABULOUS!
