And the man is Pope Francis, and the car is the Popemobile!

Now let's talk.

As Pope Francis cruised the crowd in St. Peter's Square on Wednesday, he spotted Rev. Fabian Baez from his old Archdiocese of Buenos Aires. His Holiness invited his friend out of the masses to take a seat in back of the Popemobile, and the devout duo made their way to the dais.
