"Benedictum! Benedictum!"

I don't really know what that means, but these Italian kids must have -- they were chanting it as they walked down the street, blessing all those who passed in front of them.

So I haven't been to Mass yet...but I got blessed by two of the current popes. And you thought tracing the apostolic line of succession was tricky during the Avignon era? A pope with dreads is going to have a hard time remembering things, especially with chronology. So good luck finding out which one really is the rock upon which Jesus built his church.
