Would have been more fun if they were aranged in reverse and we could speculate that Cardinal Marini was in the wings realizing the pope forgot his zuchetto and tossed it in from the side.

The Holy Father blows his top upon reading the news of Fr. Dresser's heresy.

Ebay for the zuchetto? Maybeo not too many realize and I confess I couln't believe until I saw it ... but it you bring a nice white zuchetto to the General Audience (like, from Gamarelli's) and somehow catch the attn of the Holy Father as he's riding in the Popemobile through the throngs, he will EXCHANGE his own for yours! Believe me, I know where I can find the photo! What Papa has to put up with ...

John Paul II still can't resist some fun with his old friend.

Ever notice how many pictures there are of the Holy Father basically being assaulted by his own vestments? I'm wondering if his tailors could start adding a few more well-placed stitches so he doesn't have the cape on his simar blowing up over his head all the time. Poor guy. :)

I love your post, Panda Rosa...heehee!

I'm thinking the same thing, Stephanie....Papa needs some extra stitches for his clothes when he's outside!

VERRRY sharp-eyed photographer!
