papashrine.jpgWith the price tag on the Washington end of the papal trip topping $3 million, I guess everyone has to pitch in…Well, this gem is actually by way of Thomas Peters, aka the American Papist, and a friend who sent him the snap after choir practice at the National Shrine in DC. (He’ll be singing Vespers for His Holiness and the bishops.) No idea who it really is. But I recall there was a guy–in LA, I think–who did a mean doppelganger of JPII and used to make some extra coin posing in a Ferrari whenever John Paul came to town. Wonder what happened to him. Maybe he was like the picture of Dorian Gray.
