Your Papist Photo of the Day (PPOTD)

Pope Benedict thinks to himself "Hmm - does the word 'excommunicate'

have two M's or is it just one? My, wouldn't that be embarassing..."

(as always, add your own in the combox)

In other Papist news, there is a reliable report that Pope Benedict is going to be publishing his own commentary on his recent Encyclical Deus Caritas Est in an Italian publication! In his words:

"I am happy that Famiglia Cristiana is sending you the text of my encyclical, and giving me the opportunity to accompany it with a few words intended to help the reader approach it."

I am not aware of this being done before by a Pope - it just goes to show us how much our dear Pontiff wants his message to be understood by everyone...
