"Pope Benedict's new footwear is bold enough to part the Holy See. His custom-designed, blood-red shiny loafers simply ooze Italian moda."
"Those shoes. I mean, seriously, check out those bad boys. Wow, wow, wow. Shiny, red slip-ons with an avant-garde cut for the tongue of the shoe. WOW."
"C'mon. He wears red shoes, but red shoes do not a whore make.) "
"As it is written, "How beautiful
are the feet of those who bring (the) good news!" - Romans 10:15
The Papal shoes are the red leather outdoor shoes worn by the Pope. They should not be confused with the indoor papal slippers or the Episcopal sandals, which are the liturgical footwear proper to all Latin Rite bishops. - Wikipedia, "Papal Shoes"
The most widely publicized papal branding event appears to have been the result of mistaken identity.
Over the past few months, scores of media reports have dubbed Benedict XVI the "Prada Pope," crediting the Italian fashion house with having made the pope's eye-catching red loafers.
The senior Vatican official says the loafers were actually made by the pope's personal cobbler. But Prada has refused to confirm or deny the reports, allowing the press speculation to continue. A spokesman for Prada said the fashion house lacked "the necessary elements" to make an accurate determination. - Wall Street Journal, April 25, 2006"
