Visiting those in prison was always the Holy Father's favorite corporal work of mercy.

I gotta admit AmP: I'm stumped.

This is just the oddest PPOTD that you've ever posted.

"Jaibee's brother is talking about becoming ordained?!!"

Oh, but I love your Starbucks caption!

I don't think it's quite the oddest, it is a very candid photo however and those don't normally make it to the photo stream.

I'm afraid I have to agree with wholy r.c.....PLEASE, that is the worst, offensive photo that I have ever seen! PLEASE REMOVE IMMEDIATELY! Thank you.

Shame on you, Thomas! You are starting to post like your Father!

I don't find it offensive. It's not particularly flattering, but neither is it doctored. We love our Holy Father as a person, and people sometimes get caught with odd expressions on their face. If it's photogenic you want, wait for the calendar.

BTW, Tom,

I like seeing the pope in normal, natural shots. It's more revealing of the man. :-)

I doubt the Pope patrons Starbucks since they support Planned Parenthood.

It is nice to see Papa Benedict as human as the rest of us; still, this photo makes him look a bit like Rowan Atkinson, aka Mr. Bean.

Noticing the hairy man in the crowd the Holy Father exclaims: 'Mein Gott, das ist ein Volfman!'

Well, if I can't see His Holiness in jeans and a flannel shirt, this is at least a close second :) It's always nice to see the silly/human side of people from time to time.

The Pope was surprise to see the Boy in the Bubble had become the Man in the Bubble.

I never said it was offensive. Just odd. I still don't know what caption I'd throw on this one.
