It brings to mind this article by Andrew Brown from 2010.
Persistent reports over the last few years indicate that Pope Benedict XVI enjoys an occasional cigarette – Marlboro Red, it is claimed – in quiet moments, away from prying cameras.
During World Youth Day in Australia in 2008, a bodyguard claimed that the Holy Father had smoked three cigarettes in quick succession. To think of the Pope enjoying a relaxing draw on a King Size cigarette packed with smooth Virginia tobaccos… it only makes me admire him more.Amen, I say. Amen.

We have white smoke!
Coming from a very po-faced Protestant church (think more dour version of Gordon Brown!), I used to be delighted to go to the weddings of Catholic friends to see the priests enjoying themselves - by God they could put it away!
Reminds me of Dave Allen.
Re: the caption, actually it's "and with your spirit" in the new translation of the Mass, more accurately reflecting the oriiginal Latin "et cum spiritu tuo".
