Papist alternative: buy a 2008 Calendar with exclusive Pope Benedict pics!

I want one:

This week the Photographic Service of the Holy See, which is operated by L’Osservatore Romano, released the 2008 picture calendar featuring 13 unpublished photos of Pope Benedict XVI during his summer rest at Lorenzago de Cadore.

The Holy See’s Press Office issued a statement indicating that thirteen 42x30 centimeter high-quality photos were used for the calendar, which costs approximately six dollars.

The statement also explained that the photos are not “contaminated” by words or numbers, so that they can be kept as mementos or framed. The calendar can be obtained at the offices of the Photographic Service located on the Via Peregrino at the Vatican or at bookstores near St. Peter’s Square. [CNA]
