I'd give the Pope's hand a squeeze too. He looks quite happy here! What's the Latin for Holy High Five?

I'd like to hold Papa's hand too!

Looks cold, judging from the coats the people have on....

Am I right in translating it "Sanctus quintus altus"?????

'Holy Father, I challenge you to a game of hand-wrestling.'
'Sure. Why not?'
(A minute later)
'...I couldn't beat the Holy Father. He's just like a Rock!'

gilbertgirl -

I'd say "quinque alti sancti."
("quinque" isn't declined; masculine plural b/c the implied noun of the original idiom is "dollars." You could try to argue for a singular collective noun, like "money," but then how would you explain the "five?")

...as I blow my cover and emerge as a classicist in all my glory.

pope's probably saying, "Hey, I got a hat like that, except it is red with white trim!"

The Pope, although shocked, smiled amiably when Cardinal Arinze introduced his new girlfriend.

Arinze? Nah. Archbishop Milingo, maybe! :)
