Clerical dress....a quick query and NO arguments intended! #340979 01/09/10 07:21 AM

Has anyone else ever seen this chimeric image or is it generally perceived to have never existed in the first place? If anyone does have a copy of it it would be super to see it to satisfy my own curiosity.

Here's the photo of St. Raphael (sitting) and his deacon: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Socie...hoto.php?pid=3855725&id=117459953687
