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!)
