There is something freaky about the red shoes. Deray McKesson wears them also.

I remember how proud and excited that Pope Benedict was to wear those red shoes. I remember looking up where they were made at the time and they said Prada. Remember the movie The Devil Wears Prada. That just came to mind. EDIT: I was wrong! Here is a piece in the Washington Post: The pope’s red leather loafers became something of a trademark during his time in office, landing Benedict in a few unexpected places — including the style pages of Esquire magazine, who named the pontiff “accessorizer of the year” in 2007. Several pairs were handmade by an artisan in the north of Italy who has also cobbled for John Paul II, Barack Obama and George W. Bush, writes Italy’s ANSA news; Antonio Arellano, a Roman cobbler, has also made shoes for the pope. While each pontiff has had his own style, red shoes are a papal tradition that goes back centuries. Look who else had shoes made by this man. What a kwinky-dink.

I think possibly after they went hunting they felt pleasure in wearing shoes made of their skin. The blood red shoes. Yuck. All of them Benedict Obama and Bush.

I loathe their degradation of the sanctity of life.

To think this has been going on for decades maybe centuries. All of our leaders and the leaders of other countries covet an audience with the Pope. I wonder why.
