Is this an Eye of the Tiber thing? Or is the Holy Father on a mission to make all satire of his pontificate redundant?
I don’t see anything wrong with him doing that sort of thing. Anyway, doctrinally.
Fish on Friday – nice!
I had two thoughts on this post (which, Allan S., is indeed legitimate: http://vaticaninsider.lastampa.it/en/news/detail/articolo/francesco-francis-francisco-35435/). First, shouldn’t the post title be “Ciao Line”? Second, I couldn’t figure out why His Holiness would prefer pasta without sauce, and then it dawned on me: best not to take chances with the papal cassock!
Truly a shepherd smelling like his sheep. And the sheep’s food. ;)
Thankfully he had fish!
He really is going out of his way not to have ANY red on that white cassock. “Pasta please. Hold the mozzetta, errr, marinara. “
Seems like a good way for the Holy Father to show appreciation for the people who keep the place running.
Where is his pellegrina?
A nice gesture. My first thought was that the lack of pasta sauce might be an additional form of penance. But yes, there is the whole issue of red sauce on white cloth!
Several photos of Pope Francis at lunch in the cafeteria.

A liberal portion of cod and a conservative number of fries….
Lovely! I love this–it makes me so happy to see him do this. Thank you Father Z, and thank you acardnal for the extra photos. :)
“Pope Francis made a surprise visit….” Thank goodness there were any number of people in the caf with cameras at the ready just in case the Bishop of Rome might make an unannounced visit!
Bosco, I’m not in the business of defending Francis, but it’s 2014. Aren’t most of us walking around with cameras (inter alia) in our pockets? How many of those photos were created with iPhones or Droids? It’s Rome, not Mogadishu.
The other story I saw said that “without sauce” means the Vatican cafeteria still gives you butter or olive oil on top. Possibly because Mom.
