Oh, I can find pictures of him and the Pope laughing and having a good time, and I can find pictures of him looking irritated with Obama (since there are plenty that have been using that as a comparison). It's just all in the timing of the shot. The easiest comparison has been the photo in front of that painting, which is a standard for dignitaries visiting the Pope. He can go either way in that photo.

Not to derail the jokes, but I just noticed Trudeau's wife and FLOTUS were wearing the same funeral-looking garb meeting the Pope. I don't keep up much with Pope-y stuff, so is this the standard? It seems like Michelle wore something similar, too.

That's actually a very good question. I may have to see if one of my friends that works at State knows anyone in protocol that could clarify that.
