The Holy Father has received shoes from Adriano Stefanelli, the Papal Shoe Maker for Pope Benedict XVI. Mr. Stefanelli notes in the comments on this post that the black shoes were specifically requested by Pope Leo…
Oh No! Another oh-so essential tradition undone, cast away, set aside, overlooked. And Vatican Two N-E-V-E-R said anything about the color of the pope's shoes. You can bet this was fabricated by . . . BUGNINI!
Wow! Had no idea you’d have such a hysterical reaction. But calm down, same shoemaker for Leo as for Benedict! That’s good news, beer up and take your meds.
"Pope Leo XIV wears simple black shoes as a continuation of Pope Francis's legacy of humility, symbolizing a break from the traditional red papal shoes which represented papal authority and martyrdom, signaling a focus on service and a less materialistic approach to the papacy..."
Oh, my. Black shoes! What is Pope Leo XIV thinking?
Is he unaware that he has followed in the shoes, pun intended, of Big Bad Bergoglio's Papal protocol-shattering practice of wearing black, rather than red, shoes?
Sheer arrogance!
True Papal humility consists in the wearing of red shoes.
Black shoes, refusal to employ the sedia gestatoria...Papal tiara...what is up with His Holiness?
=======
But seriously folks...
Had Pope Leo XIV opted for red shoes, the headline would have been:
-- Leo cancels Francis Again
In another stunning reversal of Pope Francis' arrogant shattering of Papal tradition, Pope Leo has restored the practice of wearing red shoes.
=======
What Pope Francis' (requiescat in pace) vicious critics would like to have believed:
-- Leo restores red shoes tradition...47,000,000 lapsed Catholics return to Church
