The Few. The Proud. The Catholic.
Unlike the Marines (Earned, Never Given)....

What group is it in this picture?
Those are knights of the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta (celebrating their patron's feast day). Their Prince Grand Master has the title of "Most Eminent Highness" and ranks just below the junior Cardinal Deacon, so the caption is not entirely wrong. :-)
Taking time off from their 2008 blockbuster tour "Those Wild And Crazy Vatican Nights", the famed tap dancing acordionists pose with The Holy Father who is an avid fan. The Pope was treated to a private performance at the Vatican before the group winds up their European tour and are then headed off to Iceland.
Jaibee, as an AF Veteran, LOVE your comment/caption! ;-)
In honor of the Kamikaze Scotsmen, the Die-Hard Royal Mounted Canadians pledge themselves to Pope Benedict.
(after this picture was taken they promply threw themselves into a den of heretics and then exploded).
The Holy Father personally auditions the candidates for the role of Major General Stanley in the Vatican's first-ever production of The Pirates of Penzance.
In response to Stalin's quote about how many legions the Pope has, Benedict XVI proudly responds, "I haff tvelve old gentleman in cool uniforms, two ov whom haff zee gout. But my army could still vhipp zee pants off yours."
I did not know our Pope was so short. Or at least he looks really short next to these guys.
The reformed Jedi Council, now under the guidance of Jedi Master Ben-ed-ict, prevents Darth Vader from rising to power in the first place.
B16 excepted, so many generals, commanding what, again?
Upon hearing that her WYD group will most likely be going to Australia sans priest, the Holy Father decided that drastic measures were required to keep Jaibee in line while on international pilgrimage.
Uh-oh. I'd better be good, eh? :)
How many divisions does the pope have?
Panda-Rosa, that is just so Monty Pythonesque! Can't you just see John Cleese in that uniform?
OK, gentlemen! Watch the birdie! Say cheese!
