The Holy Father may have seen his first pair of actual boobies, as four woman took their tops in front of the Pope this weekend.
While Pope Benedict was delivering a weekly address at St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, four Ukrainian women emerged from the crowd and stripped off their shirts, revealing the slogan “In Gay We Trust” painted across their torso.
