One Piece At A Time

According to THIS STORY,

The president of Ferrari gave a Formula One steering wheel as a symbolic gift to Benedict XVI, the "pilot of Christianity."

Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, who is also president of the FIAT Italian car company, on Monday gave the Pope a check for €950,000 ($1.1 million), which the Holy Father will allocate to charitable works.

Attending Monday’s audience were Ferrari executives, including Piero Ferrari, the founder’s son and vice president of the firm.

"The F1 steering wheel of the champion of the world, for Your Holiness Benedict XVI, pilot of Christianity," read the message on the gift given to the Pope.

"It is very complicated, Holiness," explained Montezemolo, referring to the difficulty of steering a racing car. Joking, the Pope noted the "complexity" of guiding the Church.

Y’know, given the traditional papal attire, the pope is a MAN IN WHITE.

In light of this story, I just can’t help wondering if he’s also a fan of

THE MAN IN BLACK.
