Apropos: And We Thought The Devil Wore Prada « MediaMyopic
Do poor people starve if the Pope wears donated shoes?
Is it odd or wrong for Catholics – considering what they believe the function of the office of priest, bishop and pope to be are – to be OK with the Pope having nice shoes?
Should the Pope wear Keds?
Should octogenarians (happy birthday, B16 – 81, and lookin’ good!) get a pass when it comes to wearing well-made donated shoes on the grounds they are older and still the job requirement is such that they are on their feet for several hours a day?
Is there much we can glean from papal footware about the office, the man or his stance on poverty and justice for the poor?
Does it matter in the end if the Pope donates his shoes to the homeless, with Minneapolis homeless sporting papal Prada?
At the end of the day, do we know Does the Pope where Prada?

I’ve heard many of the same complaints from those about for the need of having such an opulant church as St. Peter’s Basilicca. A good response to any of these types of questions is that the Catholic Church has done more for humanity than any other individual, NGO, or nation combined.
Good stuff eh?

Absolutely!
Every town I ever lived in (and I have been around) the Catholics have always been the most charitable, the most active and the most loving towards the poor.

Why should Prada be left for the devil?
