He wouldn't be the first person to fall asleep in church, though he's the last one you would expect.

Benedict XVI appeared to nod off during a Sunday mass in Malta, leaving Guido Marini (seated to his right) no other option but to poke the Pope. Perhaps that's in the job description for Marini, the Master of Pontifical Liturgical Celebrations.

These photos may not help that asleep-on-the-job image the Pope's been struggling with.

Do not enter the path of the wicked,
and do not walk in the way of the evil.
Avoid it; do not go on it;
turn away from it and pass on.
For they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong;
they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble.

—Proverbs 4:14-16

He'd better not try that act when he goes to England.

That's what happens when you try to wear all your new dresses at the same time. Then when you add the pointy headgear and all the rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces it simply weighs a man down. He's exhausted from dragging all that velvet, silk, and satin getup around all day. Next time he'll be rocking a teeshirt and cut offs.

I think asleep at the wheel pretty much sums up his contribution to the world anyway.

Here in Malta every acts likes he's a demi-god. Essentially no one, on T.V. or just in person would dare question the pope. You should have seen the local stations, just sickening. No even mentioned this, nor will they. And even the young people. He met a few and then they were interviewed and they kept going on how amazing it was to meet him, and they their friends kissed the hands that he kissed.....
