The two struck a
striking figure: the Pope in his white cassock and his snazzy new ride with its
white gleam.
This photo was taken Wednesday at the Vatican
as Pope Francis was gifted with a special edition Lamborghini Huracan.
It shows the Pope signing the hood of the car,
which is sure to considerably bump up its value. (A Huracan already sells for
upward of $200,000).
That's a good thing because the Vatican plans
to auction off the car, with proceeds going to three charities.
One of them -- the Pope John XXIII Community
Association -- advocates and networks to fight human trafficking by counseling
prostitutes on the streets and setting up hostels to house them.
The organization told CNN it has freed more than 7,000 women from prostitution since launching its intervention program in 1989.

It plans to put the money from the auction
toward establishing a new refuge for victims of human trafficking called the
"Pope Francis home."
