Little boy 'upstages' the Pope...
 

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis was delivering a homily but a little boy stole the show.

Francis was speaking in St. Peter's Square about the important role grandparents play when a little boy walked up behind him and confidently climbed up and sat down on the pontiff's white chair.

The Vatican says Francis was surrounded by elderly faithful and their grandchildren Saturday night at a rally to encourage family life when the boy came up, wearing a striped shirt, jeans and sneakers.

Acting like an indulgent grandpa, Francis let the boy explore the area undisturbed before tens of thousands of people. The pope smiled while reading his speech as the boy sat in the empty chair, gazed up at him and even at one point clung to the pontiff's legs

I dread to think how the catholic church will get their revenge...

:laugh2:

awww that's adorable.

That is such a set up. You do not get within half a mile of an important public figure, never mind just casually walking up to him, no matter how 'cute' you are.

If it was just a random event the Security would have been having kittens, he could easily have been wearing a suicide vest.

:joker:

Awwwww

Francis is a nice old chap

You could almost hear him mutter, as he reached down, "get thee behind me urchin"

Have this scrubbed and sent to my chamber... :joker:

Seriously, you didn't hear the kid say 'santa sit down'.

Aww! That's cute! :lovedup:
