Coming To America: Gangsta Priests And Other Fun Snaps Of Pope Benedict XVI’s Historic Visit To NYC

If you missed Pope Benedict XVI’s historic first visit to New York City, you missed many fun photo-ops of citified clergy. Like this one of dorky, young priests in hip-hop head gear at a Young Catholics Youth Rally held at Saint Joseph’s Seminary April 19 in Yonkers. Hilarity! Fortunately, professional photo-journalists were there to capture every crazy moment. After the jump, nuns in front of a hot dog cart! Where will it end? In the Book of Revelations, we’re told. More Big Apple madness for you is just a click away. Including another appearance of those drool-worthy Papal red shoes…
