Bertie meets Benedict

For some years now I have found fascinating the ancient Order of Malta, the only sovereign entity lacking its own territory, apart from the grand magistral palace in Rome. Yesterday the Order's grand master Fra' Andrew Bertie met with Pope Benedict to mark the feast day of its patron, St. John the Baptist. Benedict himself is a member of the Order, holding the rank of Bailiff Grand Cross of Honour and Devotion.
