CÓRDOBA, Nov 11 — For centuries, papal rings have dazzled the faithful, been kissed by royals, and intrigued historians.
But on Tuesday, Pope Leo’s ring received perhaps the ultimate compliment: a 10-year-old boy’s admiration.
The pontiff had just stepped off a plane in Argentina from Buenos Aires and was greeting well wishers on the tarmac when the youngster delivered his verdict.
“Nice little ring, eh!” the boy exclaimed after a closer look during the 71-year-old pontiff’s visit to Cordoba, part of a closely watched tour of South America.
