I am asking for permission to reprint the photo of the Pope (that I found on google) www.zpub.com/un/pope/unpope-w.html. This photo shows him in white and gold vestments with his staff in his left hand. Do you know if this is a copywrighted photo?

We publish Senior Connection in the U.S. (Chicago, Los Angeles and Florida)and would like to use this image for the front cover for our March issue.

I don't know the legal ins and outs but I suggest you contact the people who host that site, http://www.zpub.com/feed.html and ask them if they needed permission to publish it. My guess is that it's probably not copyrighted.
