The pope experiences a wardrobe malfunction during a reading
His Holiness the Holy Father Pope “Eggs” Benedict XVI yesterday opened a new bookstore in Rome, the Pope Benedict XVI International Bookstore, located “just outside St. Peter’s Square,” according to a report by Cindy Wooden for the Catholic News Service. The new store will be part of a chain that also features the Pope John Paul II International Bookstore in St. Peter’s Square and the Pope Paul VI International Bookstore near Rome’s Spanish Steps. Wooden reports that “In addition to books, including those by the pope, the new Pope Benedict Bookstore will sell collectible Vatican stamps and coins and photographs of the popes.”
