MORE PICTURES WITH THE POPE

I probably should be slightly embarrassed at posting so many pictures of ME - but then again, I am accompanied by the guy in the white suit. They took perhaps 80 pictures and I only bought a few - there's that vow of poverty thing. But here they are - different poses, different angles - but in case someone likes a particular one, far be it from me to act as censor. Some repeat but I never get tired of looking at myself meeting the Pope, so I don't always catch that.

Who says Jesuits aren't obedient?

This is actually my favorite - good picture of me,

and I LOVE the expression on the 

Holy Father's face. 

Father John Meets the Pope

For a detailed recounting of the trip to Rome in May of 2012 where I got to meet the Pope and present a paper at a Vatican conference, go to Frjohnsj, where text and pictures will more than satisfy your wandering curiosity.
