Top Photo Caption: Franciszek Cardinal Macharski, Archbishop of Krakow, on the day of Pope Benedict's election. (Thanks to Rocco for the expert confirmation). I propose the following caption:

"Minutes before the official announcement of Pope Benedict's election, Cardinal Macharski points to the liberal reporters assembled in St. Peter's square as he makes his famous "Bring it, I still help elect the popes around here last time I checked" face."

Drew @ HolyWhapping:

"Wazzup, my eminent Lord Homies?"

Kathy @ Hymnography Unbound:

"Is he telling a helicopter where to land?"

Fr. Stephanos, O.S.B. @ One Monk:

"Macharski, emboldened by the felicitous election of Ratzinger, jumps the gun and announces, 'Gaudium magnum annuntio urbi, orbi et universo:

CATHOLICI SUMUS ... PECCATUM FUTILIS ... BAPTIZARI PARATE.'"

(will it work with the Borg?)

Chris @ Rambling GOP Soccer Mom:

"You da' man, Benedicto!"

(feel free to send me your own captions - I might just post it!)
