The Pope's visit to Philadelphia has already provided us with a pretty interesting Rocky workout montage that the man himself might have cracked a smile at, but it was this baby in a Pope hat that really caught his attention.
Local resident Daniel Madden and his wife Dana attended the Pope's parade in Philadelphia this weekend, hoping to catch a glimpse of him, and they brought their young daughter Quinn along for the trip.
However, they decided to give their baby girl a very special outfit for the occasion in tribute to the city's visiting dignitary, dressing her up like the Pope.
The outfit caught the attention of the pontiff, who had a good laugh when he spotted her, and called to one of his aides to bring her over so that he could bless her.

Speaking to ABC 6 in Philadelphia, Madden said "he told his security guard to tell us that we have a great sense of humor", so he took it in the spirit it was intended.
