    And I'll bet there's a rustle of taffeta under that chasuable, too.

    The Vatican says they're not Prada. No word on what label they are.

    I'll be in Madison, Wisconsin next week to attend a seminar HHDL is teaching. Anyone there want to meet-up?

    HHDL does not wear Prada but he gets a lot of grief from the Beijing government anyhow.

    For what it's worth, the shoes are made by a cobbler in a one man shop, for about $400. The shoes wouldn't bother me if the pope were out of the closet and leading the attack on corrupt homophobes who use religion to destroy people's reputation and lives. As it is, they are one more part of a very disturbing picture.

    It's funny to see how creative the Italians are about saying the pope is an effeminate queen. So "mild mannered", so "delicate" when he speaks. Such precise little gestures. He floats when he walks. Nothing manly in his style at all, until he attacks gays. But that's not manly either, is it.

    Fuck anyone who claims to be "god's representative on earth" and elevates himself to a deity.

    That's sick culture in and of itself.

    How about selling the Vatican's treasures and giving the proceeds to the world's poor?

    Luke 18:22
    Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, "Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me."

    i've been saying this for years to other family members who just adore whichever man is the pope at the moment. Jesus would be so ashamed of these people who keep collecting the worlds's treasures and hiding them in the Vatican instead of using the money to help the poor.

    The church is a business--it sells faith and hope to those who can afford it. And every business needs assets. The Catholic church is operated better as a business than this country we live in. Haha.

    "Fancy lad" fashion on Razi the Nazi - what else can you expect fom a closeted self-hating pedophile? HE IS A PIECE OF SHIT.

    his speech also decried destruction of the environment, abuse of drugs and alcohol, and exploitation of sex by the media. i think he should get credit for his liberal themes. he is sadly very misguided about human sexuality in general. that's pretty much true of all religions.

    I still hate that pedophile enabler. He didn't want John Kerry to get communion while hundreds of thousands of Iraqis died and millions had to flee to Jordan and Syria

    It is good to be the king, but in the Pope's case I think its even BETTER to be "the Queen."
