According to the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, the bright red loafers that Pope Benedict XVI wears are not designed by the Milanese fashion house, as has long been rumored...

At the risk of appearing dense, I don't grasp why anybody would care what brand of shoes the Pope wears! After all, they're his feet, not mine.

Fr. Serge My comment was meant to be sarcastic. I should have put a roll eyes after it but I can't find them. I couldn't care less where he gets his shoes. CDL

Goodness - does Arroyo think he is conducting a fashion show?
If the Pope should be wearing special shoes - perhaps because he needs more support given the amount of time he must spend on his feet at his age - I would take it for granted that some benefactor provides them.

Rome, Jun 26, 2008 (CNA).- The Vatican’s Master of Papal Liturgical Ceremonies, Msgr. Guido Marini explained that the distinct ancient liturgical ornaments and vestments being used by Pope Benedict XVI underscore “the continuity of the current liturgical celebration with that which has characterized the life of the Church in the past.” ...
... “I would like to note that the Pope does not always use ancient liturgical vestments. He often uses modern ones. The important thing is not that they are ancient or modern but that they are beautiful and dignified, aspects that are important for all liturgical celebrations,” he added.
Asked about accusations that Pope Benedict XVI is trying to impose “pre-conciliar models,” Msgr. Marini said, that terms such as “pre-conciliar” or “post-conciliar” are used by some “with the intent of indicating a discontinuity in the Church’s journey, I consider [the terms] to be erroneous and typical of very narrow ideological visions.”
“There are ancient things and there are new things that belong to the treasure of the Church of the ages and as such they are taken into consideration,” he continued, adding that “not everything that is new is true, and neither is everything that is ancient. The truth transcends the old and the new and we must tend towards it without prejudice.”

One wonders "What would Jesus wear?" if he were to return today.... Probably closer to a monk than to a liturgically equipped Bishop. ---------------------
