A couple fun views of the Holy Father from today’s Wednesday Audience.
The first one calls for some caption.
This one speaks for itself.

Because you asked…
I wonder if that hat is a one-size-fits-all? It looks a little small for him, unless it’s supposed to look that way.
In response to Wymynpriests, the Holy Father has formed a Red Hat Society for the Curia.
Holy Father, this hat has been rated at SPF 30!
I sure hope somebody is holding that baby off camera.
Those strings on the side – are they meant to keep the hat from flopping down or up?
no caption, just mentioning that I’m about 40 yards away from that man in the photo!!!
“Georg, honestly; between you and Marini, neither one of you can ever get my hats on straight.”
Caption for the top one: “Okay, now we’ll fine-tune the adjustment so you’ll get better reception of God’s grace.”
A better view of this literally ‘cool’ lid:

I’ve discovered some amazingly vicious attacks on the net against this hat – by Catholics. An almost rabid insanity provoked by tradition, age, reverence or dignity of any kind. Positively Pavlovian.
Hands off my hat Georg!
A hatful of reign.
There, Your Holiness – straight across the brow, John Wayne style.
Geez guys, don’t you know normal sized hats can only cover normal sized brains? Now perhaps if the Holy Father had spent one less hour contemplating the mysteries of Christ, it would have worked.

I don’t have any captions to offer but just wanted to say that I like these very much.
Dear Papa!
“Well, Holy Father, there may be something to this idea of phrenology after all…”
Caption:
“If the head fits…”
O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true and bold,
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
And win with them the victor’s crown of gold.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
from “For All the Saints”
I don’t have any captions either, but I do like them very much!
The one with the baby is sweet!
I’m all for the saturno, but that red doesn’t seem to match the Holy Father’s white cassock. It seems like Papa needs a that big red stole to match the saturno. But, there are other pictures here that show previous popes wearing a red saturno with their white cassocks.

They still don’t look like they match, especially when there are other pictures of popes with white saturni (that’s the correct plural, right?)
Eric, don’t you know that red is the new blac… er, the new white?
I suspect that white saturnos mean “I’m \reallllllly/ dying of the heat, forget the tradition of wearing my papal reds”, whereas red saturnos mean “the tradition of the Pope wearing red is important, and I’m also an old guy who gets cold easily.”
