Pope Francis as superman, flying through the air with his white
cape billowing out behind him: the image graffitied by an anonymous
artist onto a wall in Rome was tweeted by the Vatican on
Tuesday.
Speeding forwards with his fist raised, the heroic pontiff --
crucifix swinging in the wind -- carries his trademark black bag,
with the word "values" written across it, in Spanish, in white
letters.
"We share with you a graffiti found in a Roman street near the
Vatican," the Pontifical Council for Social Communications from the
Holy See said on its official Twitter page.
The 77-year-old Argentine pontiff is renowned for throwing off his
security and plunging into the crowds to greet pilgrims, and often
uses jokes or stories to spread the values of the Church.
The pope is a keen Twitter user himself, regularly posting tweets
on his own feeds in nine languages, which boast more than 10
million followers in total.
