Popes can have fun, too.
While walking along St Peter’s Square last Wednesday (Sept 24) among the cheering faithful, Pope Francis motioned to someone holding a ball in the crowd to throw the ball to him.

Pope Francis reaches out to grab a baseball thrown by someone in the crowd as he leaves his general audience in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican Sept. 24. The pope gave a sign it was okay for the ball to be thrown, then leapt and almost caught a slightly high throw. The ball was picked up by Domenico Giani, the pope’s lead bodyguard, center. The pope signed the ball, which according to a YouTube video was thrown by a member of the Koeppel family from St. Edward’s Church in Palm Beach, Fla., in the hope of raising money for their parish.
