Tastykakes never tasted so good

You may recall reading about the friendly World Series wager between the archbishops of New York and Philadelphia — some Tastykakes to New York if Philadelphia lost the series; some New York bagels to Philly if the Yankees lost. (Who knew that Tastykakes are known as the “taste of Philadelphia”? Not me — I prefer Philly cheesesteaks, but I digress.)

Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan of New York and Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia had already made good on their bet. But the two good friends (Archbishop Dolan is a St. Louis native; Cardinal Rigali used to be archbishop there) shared some tasty Tastykakes just the same during the U.S. bishops’ general meeting in Baltimore this week.

UPDATE: There are additional photos of the two bishops on the Facebook page of the USCCB.

SECOND UPDATE: On his blog, Archbishop Dolan has his own set of photos on his “sweet victory.”
