Especially when the title includes the words "Catholic" and "Illustrated". Example: "La Hormiga de Oro, Ilustración Católica", an illustrated Spanish weekly, whose covers show us all the things we like about the Church in general and the Spanish Church in particular:
Happy prelates
Elegance
Canons
The baciamano and the cappa
Coronations
(Future) Martyrs
Popes
Snapshots
The Universal Church
Pontifical Masses

Great pictures (note the bastón de mando in no. 2)! And waht a funny title - the Golden Ant? I wonder what story lies behind that.
Bear in mind too that the "baciamano" shown is by HM the King, Alfonso XIII, showing his respect for the Cardinal Archbishop of Seville. This is the world the right way up.
Juan Carlos I (who cannot otherwise be called a strong defender of "the world the right way up") still does that.
Lovely post
