@Andrew Min: I don't believe the picture was very widely circulated in France (which is why I posted it here, something I normally don't do on this site) so, no, there hasn't been one.

@Bretzelman: Hey glad you liked it and I agree about it being ambivalent and i didn't ask him personally whether he was praying, kissing the ground or just resting. Regardless of what the guy is doing, though, he should be doing in it on his national flag, a flag should never be dropped on the floor.

Lying on a flag is one thing; kissing the ground is another. Regarding the pope's practice of kissing the ground, inherited from his rather theatrically minded predecessor, my own private view is that the practice is undignified and best confined, like most of John Paul II's innovations, to the dustbins of history.

As for my source, haha, I forgot to say, but I actually took the pic myself but modesty precluded me from announcing it.
