To think that someone should tell the Pope...

Oh I don't know. It's cultural innit? They do things different in Italy.

Remember whatshisface giving his kid a beef burger?

He's just a man. I wonder if the mother would hand her child over to any other man. Poor boy I bet he wondered what was happening to him.

the photo was in lots of papers, but the DM had one of his not crying as well.

Oh, there's nothing wrong with that! Very sweet! Trust a kid to go and spoil it though.

Well, to be fair it did happen, Gally.

Looks like it's just a pick up and hug photo opportunity. Parents want their little dears to be blessed by 'Papa' but to dress the poor child like that is a bit strange. Mama obviously has high hopes for little Daniele. Oh, and it's the DM

Poor little mite. dressed up in odd clothes and handed over to a strange man. No wonder he bawled. He could be marked for life.

Sorry - overcome there for a moment...
