Cardinal Siri

Some readers keep asking for photos of Cardinal Siri, others send in photos of this still very popular prelate. To make things easier, I will put all my good pictures of Cardinal Siri into one posting, so you can enjoy them all at once without having to travel through the far sight's archives. Enjoy!
