We always see our Popes during official meetings, church services and other solemn occasions. Very rarely we see them relax and enjoying the lighter side of their personal lives. Well, here are three moments caught by the Vatican photographers which make you smile, or even laugh. The first one took place during one of the general audiences of Pope Francis, when a young boy came up on stage. He started chatting with the Pope, then moved to the Swiss Guard, standing in attention as the boy tried to shake hands with him. Both the Pope and Mons Ganswein could not resist a smile, as the security guards were nervous this boy would do something unusual.
The second photo shows Pope Benedict XVI in the back seat
of his car, while one of his cats sits next to him in the reserved passenger
seat. Benedict loved cats, as well a beer and a playing on his piano. His cats
roamed around his office and would often jump on his lap as he was sitting, reading,
praying or just trying to write at this desk.
The third photo shows Pope Francis in his earlier years
as Pope saluting to a Swiss Guard as he passes by the entrance to the Casa
Santa Marta.
