Never mind that use of these images is, I would think, covered by fair use (they would be in the US, ask Jerry Falwell), they have just created a reason for the whole internets to start circulating and reposting the photos. I guess pope Ben hasn't heard of the Streisand Effect.

I believe the correct term, on the internet at least, for what the pope is feeling is "butthurt".
