#poland – @fathershane on Tumblr

Ever seen this photo on Tumblr? An Italian newspaper just published the story behind it...

It turns out that Cardinal Jozef Glemp of Poland was visiting the Cold War Museum in Virginia. So they gave him a Dragunov SVD sniper rifle (confiscated from the Russian mafia) to hold and somebody thought it would be funny to take a picture. No more story to it than that.

If you're going to take it and put a caption on it, I suggest "Don't Quit Your Day Job, Eminence"...

It's the feast day of St. Faustina Kowalska, the messenger of Christ's message of Divine Mercy!

Will she soon become the 4th woman Doctor of the Church? (If you don't know who the other three are, you really need to click on that!)

Feast day of one of the most amazing saints of the 20th century.

The most deadly poison of our times is indifference. -- Saint Maximilian Kolbe
