Saintly Photo of the Pope

Dear Editor: The Tablet’s photo of Pope Francis walking with World Youth Day pilgrims​ (Dec. 24-31) is the most poignant and uplifting of any pontifical picture I have ever seen, of any pope.

Save this negative for that future story when Pope Francis becomes a saint. And he will become a saint.

Editor’s Note: Since it’s a Catholic News Service photo, we don’t have the negative, Jim. But we do appreciate the sentiment.
