Finally, After two thousand years , the rift between the Catholic church,the Orthodox Church and the Penguin Church might be resolved.

[Credo]

Well, at least the penguins dressed nicely for the occasion.

judging by the ones who turned their back to him, the meeting was unsuccessful .

If he would have had white, instead or red against the black, it would have been hard to tell which creature was not a penguin.

if the penguins wear red life vests it would be hard to tell who was the Patriarch

but I guess the penguins had more faith on the Lord protecting them than the Patriarch

[canuckamuck]

Obviously he has failed to convert any of the penguins so far,

Spike Milligan used to insist ' Keep The Pope Off The Moon ' so I wonder what he's have made of this ?

Was the Patriarch trying to corner conversion before the opposition arrives ?

Why the life vest? Did he swim there? ... or does he think he will wobble into the sea if he has another wodka?

[RIJoe]

Nice to see a holy man attending to his flock.

[Srikcir]

I think Putin sent Kirill to search for Russian separatists.

Maybe he just get out of the small motor boat
