Apparently if you can't get a photo with the Pope...get a photo OF the Pope

https://www.facebook.com/berniesanders

Bernie Sanders added a new photo.

From a tactical level, this appears to at least be an attempt to get some political value out of the trip, but I'd say this is coming close to the line of an inappropriate use of a photo to imply an endorsement.

and a child smacks of pretending that the Pope supports you politically. I sure wouldn't have done that, and it probably violates the terms of use from Reuters, which owns the rights to that photo.

The photo is credited to Reuters, and almost certainly does not have that logo on it there. It's a news photo, with the photographer's name on it.

This seems unethical to me, really. It should be removed from the Sanders FB page.
