'BENADDICTIONS': The lighter side...and sheer indulging!

On Beatrice's site,

her Spanish friend Gloria has had the unique and wonderful initiative of creating montages featuring all the state visitors who have called on Benedict XVI at the Vatican in 2009 so far.

I think that the Pope's official visitors - in terms of heads of state and/or government - easily outnumber those of the President of the United States.

And, as Beatrice notes, how could any critic possibly claim the Holy Father is isolated in his ivory tower? Not to mention all his meetings with visiting bishops, Curial officials and groups, and so many associations!

The message on each of the 'postcards' is:
MAY THE LIGHT OF HIS (Jesus's) LOVE
ENLIGHTEN ALL WHO GOVERN!

BENEDICT XVI, CHIEF OF STATE
