Pope Francis was hospitalized a couple of weeks ago and while in the hospital, he baptized a baby in the neo-natal ward. What a story that baby and his mama will have to tell! I love that the child’s name is Michelangelo – so beautiful. This clip doesn’t put all of the subtitles in, but at the end he says to the mum that she should tell her local parish that her son has been baptized by the Pope. (In your face, local parish!)

If that weren’t enough, upon his release he signed a kid’s cast and then comforted a couple whose child had died. This must have been so meaningful for them.

I’m half-Norwegian, so I absolutely get that we Scando-types are not smiley. But this little girl needs to laugh more.

Further, how did she get to Rome? Did she walk? And if you don’t know what a pill is, read my Wall Street Journal column here.
