The pope is one of the most recognizable figures in the world, in large part because of the clothes he wears: all white, ornate ponchos, various hats. But all popes don’t actually dress alike. There are different articles of clothing that correspond to different events and times of year, and there is a certain amount of personal choice involved.
Pope Francis has made waves across the Catholic Church with his relatively progressive, modern takes on church doctrine and tradition, and his clothing is a visual shorthand for those policies.
To learn more about the history of papal clothing, see The Church Visible: the ceremonial life and protocol of the Roman Catholic Church by James-Charles Noonan archive.org/details/churchvis...

Cool
Vox is the only news channel like yt channel that can discuss controversial stuff without being ofiensive
Are they actually black? Or just really really really really really really dark blue?
The Pope is using the most default skin for priest class.
A riskier run, skipping through enhanced equipment and a seccure build, but it manages to compensate on agility and lower waste of stamina with some bonus on charisma.
he says church shouldn't be pay to win 😂😂
He didnt have more diamonts/gold to spent on more expesife looking outfits lol. Game mode on
The hero is over powered but humble
That would be brown
People tend to forget that Pope Francis is the first JESUIT pope and a Jesuit's basic teaching is humbleness. You cannot expect a Jesuit to wear extravagant clothing/accessories because it goes against their beliefs of humility.
I didnt know that cool to know.
intresting don’t they also support education
intresting don’t they also support education
Yes. To be a Jesuit is to always strive to be more like Christ on Earth. Humble, helpful, strong in your faith, and thankful.
In modern terms... "OMG, it's like a Minimalist-Hobo esthetic, but make it, like, a lifestyle. So edgy!"
?! That are the Franciscan not the Jesuit
One correction. In the church hierarchy, cardinals are not “higher” than bishop but rather bishops with a special duty of electing the pope.

He is the first pope in my lifetime that gives me the impression of someone putting emphasis on humility and care. It is an inspiring message in a time that also contains so many who have forgotten those virtues.
were you not alive in 2005?
You're quite young then? John XXIII was the first for me. And John Paul I, too ... and look what happened to him 🥴.
Sadly his work in argentina and his friendship with the current goverment show that, despite this humbleness, something worse lies within.
Francis is "proud of his humility". He is an arrogant imposter who is using the papacy to attack the True Christ.

I am not Catholic, but he was appointed pope my freshman year at a Catholic high school. He is the only reason I ever considered Catholicism. I really respect everything I know about him and what he preaches. Humility, charity, kindness. The world needs more people like that.
I was (sort of) raised Catholic and I was in pretty much the exact same situation except it was just a public high school which provided kind of a unique experience because like 99% of my friends were essentially atheists or at the very least incredibly agnostic and even they started to really admire him. Definitely a good pope for our generation. Anyways, I hope one day you reconsider the faith, the world needs all the love it can get :)
The real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist is the number one reason to attend a Catholic mass. See early church fathers writings on this doctrine
but does he practice what he preaches? Only God knows, but you will know them by their fruits! And I just see pompous extravagant lifestyles with these priests.. words without deeds... as Jesus said: words without deeds are like the body without spirit: dead
following the pope is following death.
Jesus said: Follow ME. I am the way, the truth, and life. Noone comes to the Father except through ME.
@@theplacebeyondthelies2429 Amen 🙏
Bro ur on the wrong side
A few points on liturgical terms:
- A priest does not "perform" Mass, he celebrates and presides over Mass.
- The Pallium is reserved for all Metropolitans (Archbishops) not just the pope.
- The Chasuble is worn by all celebrants of Mass.
- Liturgically, we refer to pink as Rose, as on Gaudete Sunday during Advent and Laetare Sunday during Lent. This break from purple represents the joy of the coming Christmas and Easter solemnities, respectively.
- Nobody but Christ "builds" or rebuilds the Church. Even hymns that use such language are discouraged.
Also the white cassock wasn't used until the 1500s, when Pius V., A Dominican, became Pope and kept his white habit. Before that the color of Popes was red
I was looking for this comment! Thank you!

Interesting. Would you not even say His people are building the church as His hands? (under His direction)

I would have to agree! Everything he seems to do is very humble and inspiring.
@Grim Graven Cemetery he's not a heretic, he's trying to prevent a schism and keep the church relevant
At least he's not like other Popes who fights with each other
@@BitterSong28 what teachings of Jesus? He is the only pope that lives up to “love thy neighbor”
@Ruff. The popes are Antichrists bc Roman Catholicism is unbiblical; they are, actually, Antichrists.
Fun Fact: The bird called a Cardinal was named after the Catholic Cardinal position and vestments.
And Cardinal means the hinge and has the same roots as heart cardio
In addition, countries which the Pope visits tend to make liturgical vestments which he may choose to wear again. For many Filipino Catholics, it was a point of pride when he wore a chasuble with the image of Santo Niño de Cebu to a mass in Vatican City. The garment was made specifically for his 2015 visit.
i never would have noticed. Imagine him getting his Mindanao attire and his Batangas loafers . Pinoy are catholiic but soooo hypocritical. its just a function .
Making fancy clothes for a pope rather than helping the poor..? Yeah, sounds about right.
@@--Nath-- Hmm? Talking smack about the largest charitable organization of the world? Let us catholics at least celebrate being the most diverse and international community of th world with a little bit of clothing. Or is that too much? How much did you give to charity this year?
@@theIansd "largest charitable organization" how many Catholics are there? Billions? and yet never to end poverty. Ok.
@@addd_diii what? Haven't you learn econ? There's many type of poverty simpleton, structural, absolut, relative, etc. Charity'll help but even any charity won't wipe out poverty just like that because it's not that simple. There must be an empowering system for the poor so they can be strive, and that's the job of government
A note on the red shoes:
In roman times red shoes/boots were a royal garment. An example is that caesar wore them to signify his status equal to that of a king. The pope is also king of the vatican and historically has rivalled kings and emperors in status. I'm not sure if this is coincidence but I can't imagine.
The pope is technically a monarch of the Papal States. But it was reduced to just the Vatican hills when Italy and the See of Rome signed a deal.
Completely wrong about Caesar (unless you're talking about Cesare?). Caesar wore them because he was part of the Senate. Senators were expected to wear red ankle boots.
One of the most ancient titles of the pope was also one of those used by Roman emperors, Pontifex Maximus, Supreme Bridge Builder, hence the keeping of elements of Roman imperial attire by the popes.
@@amielrelox While you are correct historically speaking I wouldn't say so nowadays. The Papal States or "the State of the Church" is a long defunct political entity and I'm pretty sure that's formally recognised in the treaty that the Pope of the time signed with Mussolini, which created the Vatican City State as a formal entity. However, you still see lingering element's from the Papal States such as the Papal nobilty (e.g. Papal Count/Countess) which are granted today as an order of merit of sorts.
i thought he chose them bc they're snazzy
They are supposed to be humble servants of God. I love him for this.
Great video! Simple correction: the pallium is not reserved only to the pope. It is usually worn by all archbishops and by the dean of the college of Cardinals.
Bishops may wear one as well if they have metropolitan jurisdiction. But the wearing is not automatic. It must be bestowed by the Pope himself.
And archbishops wear it only in their metropoly, Pope can wear it everywhere - that's one of the signs of his office
Remember what oversimplified said: "'he's holy, lowly he eats ravioli."
he also perfectly described his white outfit, down to the pellegrina if I remember correctly

"Pope Benedict wasn't Pope for very long"
He was Pope for 8 years, the same amount as Francis.
Yeah but he was in the hitler youth so we don’t talk about him…

@@SeanMacadelic Yeah, I hate to say it but Benedict looks like pope turned bond villain - and acted much like an overly conservative when the world needs the opposite. He was basically a stopgap between JPII and Francis. Francis is just a good human, great Jesuit and I'm glad he's here. I hope he continues to lead by the humble example Jesus really would want.
@@SeanMacadelic All German children at the time were in the Hitler Youth. It was mandatory. The fact that he was in it doesn't say anything about his character.
@@SeanMacadelic every German within his age group was in Hitler youth, whether they wanted to be in the group or not...
The pallium isn't reserved for the pope.
It's a privilege, some archbishops and cardinals have, for example the archbishops of cologne or Paris.
The last thing we need is a modern Church. What we crave is authenticity
Indeed
Agreed. What is the point of we turn into mainstream society?
There are several inaccuracies in this video:
1. Metropolitan archbishops also wear the pallium, not just the Pope.
2. It was believed that Popes started wearing white during the 15th century when a Dominican, Pius V, was elected Pope, he chose to keep his white Dominican habit. Traditionally, Popes wore red.
3. Pope Francis' crucifix, called a pectoral cross, is made of silver and not iron.
Additionally, the fascia should be worn above the waist
They're not the best on history, if the only mentioned the story of the man himself then it would give context as to why he chooses to dress this way
Came here to say all this. Thank you.
Pre-reformation Archbishops of Canterbury (a Metropolitan See) were entitled to wear the pallium, which is still reflected in the Diocesan coat of arms today
Thank You!
1:20 hey, just a little correction to be annoying (lol), Cardinals and Bishops arent considered "on top of" each other. Cardinals are basically bishops responsible for the pope's ellection. Hierarchically, there is no distinction between them.
Where does an arch bishop fall in there?
@@mbgal7758 if im not mistaken is kind of an administrative role as well. While bishops look over some number of churches, archbishops look over a bigger one. Like, if there was a bishop for a state, an archbishop would take care of the region that state was in.
@@SepiaSapien Are there “mega arch bishops” or “master mega advanced super arch bishops”?
@@strnglhld bro calm down
Cardinals don't have to be Bishops either. But how does the ability to vote not give them hierarchical status?
Red is not just "sprinkled in". Red is used for feast days of Martyrs.

@@quicheadvisor5507 He’s no John Paul
He is the first Jesuit Pope after all, humbleness is one of their core beliefs.
The most interesting thing about the Jesuits, I think, is that they and their 'reductions' in the Americas fought a war against the combined might of Spain and Portugal in the mid-18th century. They lost. Badly. But it's a little factoid that I absolutely love.

I perform for a church choir and we follow the color codes for the liturgy year as well. The red color is reserved for 3 main celebrations during the year: Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Feast of Christ the King. Pink is only ever used for the 3rd Sunday of Advent, which happens to be this Sunday Dec 12th
@@User-jr7vf USA
It's r o s e
Also red to remember the holy martyrs of CHRIST
Red is also worn for Masses of martyrs especially Masses on weekdays
As others have said, red is also worn on the feast days of martyrs. It's also worn on Pentecost. I'm not sure about everywhere, but my parish priest wears red at the confirmation masses.
The main issue with this editorial is that it presumes that the Pope chose and nit-pick every set of vestment he uses. This is just plain wrong, that is the job of the Papal sacristy and the office of papal liturgical celebrations, in keeping with the occasion and yes the preferences of the Pope but that doesnt mean the pope eschewed all the ornate and beautiful. In his trips he has worn ornate vestments as well. Furthermore there are some factual errors such as saying the pallium is unique to the pope and that the mitre is reserved for Mass. Further the answer to the question of this editorial is simple, it is simply what the Church's rituals prescribed since time immemorial. Lastly, the coat that the pope wears for winter is not something new, it has been a standard part of clerical clothing for the last century.
Never thought about the pope's clothing until now. My perspective has been changed greatly!
Yeah, But he supports the current argentinian government that take advantage of poor people.
@@Logh0s u sure? from what I've learned even long before he became pope, he continually criticize that kind of action. Until now, he's so fully aware a lot of people from Argentina talk bad about him because of his ongoing criticism of the enormous social and economic inequalities in the country and his advocacy for the poor and marginalized. Especially migrants. If the support that you mean is to love and to pray for the government, that's what he should do to all people.
Clothing is more than just a covering, it can be a statement of position.
Also Cardinals are bishops and Pope's are bishops-- they just have another title

His ideas are good, but the national churches will not change. Sadly, pope has no real influence.
(I am speaking from a Polish perspective. Seeing local church leaders covered in gold, them driving luxury cars...it is indeed sad. Sadly, the moral ones are not as well known to the public, as the money-hungry. There are good priests, of course. But there are also lots of bad ones...)
The sad truth is still the truth, you're absolutely correct
Kiddy diddlers still have a lot more protection than they deserve...which is no protection
I've noticed in the United States our parishes seem to want to present as conservative to "compete" with protestant evangelical churches. I see very little teaching on climate change or refugees despite both being important to Pope Francis.
I mean, Francis eagerly got rid of some German bishop who was too flashy and decadent. It's not so much that the national churches won't change and more that the Universal Church is too large for one man, even the Vicar of Christ himself, to reform or unilaterally fix. Francis needs to be met half way by a groundswell from the Church's members, but that isn't happening in large enough numbers because many aren't interested in real reform.
“LOTS” of BAD ONES!! So many that billions of dollars spent on keeping past abuses silent.. through the media and families
The Bishops of Rome have worn red shoes because it was a traditional perk of being Pontifex Maximus dating back to the Roman Republic. Julius Caesar was Pontifex Maximus and wore the traditional red footwear. The Office of the Pope is both the Pontiff of Rome today as well as the successor to the traditional Pontifex Maximus of the College of Pontiffs.
The association between pontifex maximus and the pope of Rome is a fairly recent one, dating back only to the Renaissance. Reason was simply that the term Pontifex Maximus had a negative connotation to the early roman Christians. Well, that and the fact that the papal institution finds its origin in the 7-8th century, before that the pope of Rome was a brother of the four other patriarchs, not their spiritual father. Most likely the Vox video is right that red shoes just denote royalty.
Good point. It's also worth remembering that the Pope was the secular ruler of Rome from the Fall of the Western Empire in the 400s to the establishment of Italy in the 1800s. Red shoes were worn not just of the Pontifex Maximus (a rank that had been subsumed into the Imperial collection by Augustus before the Church was even founded) but by the Prefects of Rome under the late Empire since they were a symbol of Senatorial rank. (N.b., one source says "Patrician" rank. Regardless, they were coveted symbols.)
I'm an atheist, which may or may not affect things, but this guy... he's the best.

The problem is that the Pope is the exception to the rule. He is a great example indeed, but the institution doesn't like to follow it.
@@paulaschmaula he isnt, all the priests I know are great people, tell me exactly what you mean
@@veavictis3236 Saying all the priests you know as a population sample has no relevance in the morality of priests around the world and over time. That would be like saying, all the teachers in my school are bad, thus most teachers in the school system must be bad. I’m not going to presuppose his meaning, but I’m guessing it relates to how the Catholic Church has historically acted as a forceful power that tried to manipulate European states. Or how it forcefully indoctrinated people into its religion, such as the indigenous people of the Americas. Or the out of date and illogical social and moral rules it dictates upon its followers in the name of a contradictory god. The list goes on, but the problematic history of almost all religions begs the question, even if a god existed, why would that god create religions for organisms to follow only for those organisms to use said religions violently? If god knew the creation of the religion would cause violence, why not avoid creating it in the first place?

Facts
I can tell you otherwise
Really didn’t like him. Not great leader of our church in my opinion.
That is quite a sad statement and shows that many Catholics don't see how pope Benedict has helped the Church in so many ways. Why would the Cardinals vote for him is he didn't achieve much even before his papacy? He is a great theologian but a lot of Catholics don't read Church teachings. His made brilliant homilies, catecheses, encyclicals on central aspects of the faith, and his biographies on Jesus of Nazareth could even qualify him as a doctor of the Church. When he became pope, he defrocked hundreds of abusive priests and made strides to reform the transparency of finances within the Church.
@@filipinocatholicschannel5098 Yes, but Catholic now only remembered how conservative and traditionalist he was compared to John Paul II. His legacy was just overshadowed by his hardline traditional conservatism and his immediate predecessor and immediate successor.
Pope Francis is a great humble human being. Long live the Pope.
When you're the head wizard, you have to dress a lot snappier than Gandalf.
Pope Francis is truly living his faith. I really do believe in his faith in God, his faith feels genuine rather than performative.
The closing line I thought extremely problematic. Im not a catholic but I think there are some who agree with me in saying that his solidarity with the poor is not “more modern;” his progressive atire is precisely Christian orthodoxy. When ppl say that the church is becoming more modern this always has the significance of the church compromising itself, being swayed by current changes. That is not what is happening. The pope is here sticking to Christian tradition, holding fast to its history.
This I completely agree!
It's Vox. They tend to lean left/progressive. Like pretty much every news outlet out there, right or left, they have an agenda they're trying to push.
Totally, sometimes they forget that they're talking about the catholic church when they chose these adjectives. Calling it modern just because he's humble is too far fetched.
Yes. Saying it’s becoming modern isn’t good because traditionalists use it as an argument against the church changing. They say the church is changing to fit current trends and the church shouldn’t change for that. But the church is changing to better reflect what Jesus actually preached about.
I wouldnt say sticking to Christian tradition, because as much as i would like to thinks so, the church historically wasnt this. Its more of a return to actual Christian doctorine, the one before the roman ‘corruption’ of the people’s church. While the persecution was terrible, it kept people humble. Pope Francis is a sign of a return to this, long gone version of the church, which i as a catholic hugely welcome.
You know you went to Catholic school when you shouted "ROSE!" at 5:09.
OLD ROSE!
The pallium is also worn by Archbishops in the Western Church, but only after the Pope allows them to do so, and usually only within their diocese/archeparchy. Also the miter is a much simpler descendant of the Eastern Mitre, which also comes from court dress, as it is a crown
As a Belgian is is impossible for me not to think his red outfit is Sint-Niklaas in disguise
Ah yes, he famously wore that at the mass where he, controversially, replaced the host with kruidnoten. 😂
St. Nicholas was a bishop after all.
Answering a question I’ve literally never thought of, and yet when I read the title I instantly thought “good question” 😂
Same here 🤓
I am not Christian nor do I closely follow Popes and their policies. But from what little I know of this one I like the direction he's trying to move the Catholic church in. Here's hoping his eventual successor continues the work
Well, he was one of the youngest popes when he was elected so he will have a chance to do a lot of work himself. His successor will undoubtably be from the opposite faction. They will have had an equally long time to stew in their resentment. The question is, can he make any lasting changes in the bureaucracy so that his opponents will have a hard time trying to undo his work?
Not a Catholic but I went to Catholic highschool and I actually do like the current pope cuz he seems chill and open minded however it freaked me out when I saw people went mad over seeing pope like they saw God coming down from heaven or some sort lol

God bless the Pope and Holy Catholic Church.
As an atheist, I can truly say as an outsider looking in, this pope is pretty progressive and I like him :)
yea compare to the previous popes
same
these comments always seem silly to me. Maybe you guys just weren't paying attention?
How is he progressive
@@bigmanjoe3603 LOL. You trads are something else. 😂
The palium is not just reserved to popes, it can also be worn by archbishops if they are heads of a metropoly ( as far as I know)
Andrej, you are spilling holy tea with this interesting tidbit of info. for real.
The robes that the pope, cardinals, and bishops wear do look kinda badass ngl
look up the band Ghost, the singer wears clothes based off of traditional catholic stuff, its awesome
The red shoes are a legacy of the kings of Rome, It was a sign of royalty. When Julius Caesar wore them, people started to worry that he might declare himself king. Later, Emperors wore the red shoes, and Constantine gave the permission to the bishop of Rome to wear them.
All Archbishops wear the Pallium, not just the Pope.
The Swiss Guard though. Such wow. Many colours. Very shiny. So flamboyant.
Designed by Michelangelo, the Swiss Guards' attire's garishness was done in a fit of pique by the master towards Pope Julius II..or so they say. LOL
Just kidding..the festive attire (aka the gala attire) is actually a little bit more than a century old, but the myth is more interesting. LOL
As a human, this is a pope I can stand behind. I hope he influences more people to be humble.
Not gonna lie. The Pope's robe looks badass, it's like a healer class robe from an MMO game lol
If you are reading this, I want you to know that you are loved❤️
Happy holidays to all🥰
Love you more than you know!
“The pope wears white, symbolizing purity, goodness and holiness”
bishops and cardinals, wearing full black attires: 👀👀
I know this was a joke. But for the curious: the black cassock symbolizes that the priest or bishop is dead to the world and now lives entirely for Christ.
The black chasuble is used in the Requiem Mass, symbolizing mourning.
Clergy also wear white in tropical climates where it'd be too hot to wear black.
Excellent video! It was very interesting and I learned a lot. Thank you!
Well, if he _didn't_ dress like that, you wouldn't know he's the pope, now would you?
Archbishops wear pallium too. The pope can wear it anywhere in the world as he is the Church's leader while archbishops can only wear it in their jurisdiction archdiocese.
It seems very strange that purple is the colour worn during lent, considering it is historically one of the most expensive and luxurious colours of clothing. Purple dye was worth more than it's weight in gold.
You’re exactly right. That’s why Christ was given a purple garment at his crucifixion by the Roman centurions. It was intended to mock Him as “King of the Jews”.
While wearing a royal garment, he was humiliated and crucified. In this one image, we see how Christ joins the margins with his Kingship.
And so, during times of penance, the priest - who is “in persona Christi” - also wears purple.
I’m sure there is more behind this, but this is the basic aspect.
Because it had to extracted (time consuming as well as foul from the process, I understand, and you didn’t get that much from each crustacean) from some form of shellfish which is almost extinct because of it. Probably stinks, I bet.
I’m a Buddhist, but always curious about this. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for taking the trouble to bless us with this well informed piece about Papal vestments.
I love this pope and I’m Jewish. Happy holidays everyone
I love this pope and I'm Muslim.
@Savio John he do be a heretic
Merry Christmas to you too 💗🙏🏻
legit the chillest pope
@Savio John ok as if I care.
The issue is that most Catholics want tradition, when non Catholics watch this they think "What a humble and liberal guy who wants to make the church more modern." The issue is that the way he's "modernizing the church is through very harshly cracking down on our traditional and centuries old Latin mass that's been one of the main things separating us from protestants and other denominations. Catholics don't want a watered down version of the faith, we want the faith in it's purest form even if it isn't easy or doesn't appeal to the laziness of the modern world
💯💯💯🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
He is not necessarily modernising the church, he is bringing it back to the place that Jesus would of wanted it. Bringing back the core Christian values.
If you ask me, everyone should dress like that. It looks awesome lol
I want mine in pink.
Which is why I always wore my simple green cavalry (chasseur à cheval), and blue infantry grenadier (grenadiers à pied) uniform.
Uhh I’m pretty sure you’re dead.
I didn't realise those came in kids' sizes.
@@saisamsuri The idea that Napoleon was small in stature came about because of a mix-up between British and French units of measurement. French _pieds_ were longer than British _feet,_ and so an average person in France might be the same number of feet tall as a short person in Britain. Of course Napoleon's conquests paved the way for humanity to mostly leave that madness behind it, as the metric system was adopted, sooner or later, wherever the emperor went, and a meter is the same length everywhere.
Pope Benedict had his job for 8 years and that isn’t considered long?
Not in papal terms
It seemed shorter...
0:13 Oh Lord... Oh Lord... He's got a Mercy-des.
I stan him so much even tho i'm an atheist because he's from motherland Argentina. I can actually hear his porteño leaking through his italian, and it's so refreshing to hear i love it so muchhhh
I’ve never heard someone say they stan the Pope before lol
Although the Mozetta shown in the video is the winter one with Ermine fur, the Overcoat shown in the video does not correlate to the same degree.
The Mozetta is a vestment used within Liturgical Functions, namely apart of the Pope's Choir Dress. Although in the winter it is lined with ermine, it is a liturgical vestment. The Overcoat is simply a more functional part of his everyday dress, mainly to keep him warm.
The pallium is actually a vestment that may be worn by Metropolitan Archbishops, the difference being that the only the Holy Father may have a pallium with crosses of red instead of black.
I love how Vox answers questions I forgot I wanted answered.

Bishops are not below cardinals. Cardinals *are* (usually) bishops and archbishops, but with added dignities and responsibilities
I fell in love with him and his simplicity💕
May God save our Gracious Pope☦
Long live our Humble Pope❤

Im Catholic but I dont really practice it. But this pope is bomb. He inspires me to be a good person and be accepting, forgiving snd open to others.
I’d invite to contact your nearest Parish Priest, he’s probably down to set an appointment for a chat to answer your questions.
I'm not Christian but I love pope Francis , we all can learn from him specially the religious leaders.
@@khaledb4046 amen
@@marlonsedano7555 Agree with you Marlon. he can answer me but I'm not interested. I do "practice" it but I merely practice it out of my respect for my parents. Besides, Catholicism gives me sense of belonging ness and sense of identity and culture. Being from the Philippines, to be a catholic is to be a Filipino. (I would like to reiterate, that I dont really believe in catholicsm but I do practice it out of my respect for my loved ones and to avoid arguments). I do 100% believe in the existence of God but I also recognize that there are religions out there which might tell the truth. Who knows right? I dont confine myself with the religion that brought me up. If I'm japanese, more likely Im a buddhist or shinot. If im Indian, more likely im hindu. Religion for me is for culture and identity only. Nothing Else. (But I do recognize that there is God). So I wont waste my time asking the priest :)
The pope isn’t why your Catholic but if you like him why don’t you imitate him by going to mass and confession.
And the award for the most original (and grating!) pronunciation of chasuble goes to . . . .
As an Orthodox Christian, I hold much respect to Pope Benedict XVI for his willingness to retire when he was too sick to continue his job. He was the only Pope since Pepe Gregory XII resigned in 1415.
IT'S. NOT. PINK. IT'S. ROSE!
Rose-coloured vestments are permitted on 3rd Sunday of Advent ('Gaudete' Sunday) and 4th Sunday of Lent ('Laetare' Sunday).
imagine being so famous that you get a 6-minute video of your dressing style :)
a great man.
I’ve got no religion but i really like Francis, quite a genuine, contemporary guy. Long live to Francis!
