Breakdance for His Holiness

This picture never fails to make me smile. News reports say:

The 83-year-old pontiff seemed to approve, waving his hand after each dancer completed a move, then applauding for the entire group. He watched the performance from a raised throne. “For this creative hard work I bless you from my heart,” he said.

Good comment from Catch.com:

I’m not surprised that the Pope enjoyed this. I’m not surprised that somebody, somewhere said “Hey I know, let’s breakdance for the Pope.” What does suprise me is that anybody who would say such a thing could actually follow through and know the people who could make it really happen.
