Boy sneaks past security to see the Holy Father...

A young boy, eager to see the pope, made his was past "security" for a private audience.

When the boy appeared before the papal throne, the Pope briefly held the child’s head in his hands and exchanged a few words with him.

A few moments later the boy was politely asked by a smiling security official to return to his seat, which he did without incident much to loud cheers of an approving crowd.
