LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online ) - An image from the Vatican via the AFP, which is posted here, highlights some of the superficial differences between the two popes. The external trappings of their dress resonates with their personal demeanor and attitudes towards the Holy Office.
Pope Emeritus Benedict has always been a regal personality who has enjoyed the trappings of the Vatican and his office as pope. Benedict was always resplendent in his papal regalia including the ruby red shoes, gold cross, and gilded throne.
By contrast, Pope Francis has a reputation for great humility. He previously eschewed a cardinal's palace in his home of Buenos Aries, rode the bus, and frequented the poor in slums.

It's called "Tough love." Get over it.
Here's a maxim for you:
“It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt”
With every post I've written to you, you've gotten beaten badly and shown to be simpleminded incapable of even comprehending what is written in this news article.That's why you ignore the points I make and move on to something unrelated.

You are unfamiliar with history...even recent history and yet you obstinately, repeatedly, and pridefully refuse to admit your mistake. The reason for that is egotism.
Incidentally, compared to my mentors, I am weak with a small intellect. Compared to you, however, I am Augustine, Aquinas, Newton, Leonardo, Shakespeare and Einstein all wrapped into one loveable (and handsome) fuzz ball.
You can not win against me, little man. It's obvious you don't have the intellectual firepower, the skills nor the talent to do so. Now, go away and polish your red shoes.

It's past time for me to take the advice of my dear old grandpa.
Jethro, he'd say:
“Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.”

I am not sure what your point is.
If you are serious that the article is not biased then there is nothing else to say. If you do not recognise your arrogance in your comments about Pope emeritus Benedict, then that is sad.

There is NO bias in the "little article" and the "grave differences" you mentioned are solely in your imagination. The article itself clearly states that it "highlights some of the superficial differences between the two popes"
Do you know what Superficial means?

It was YOU who added the "1500 year" and the "He (Francis) will hopefully learn to wear the shoes of his office as the Vicar of Christ" remarks in an attempt to disparage the insignificant dress choices of the new pope.
I don't know what your problem with Pope Francis is but what is significant is not the "little article." It is your intransigence, obstinacy and pride in refusing to admit your error. 1500 years, indeed.
Your wrong and petty in your criticism of Pope Francis especially based on his choice of footwear. I suggest YOU 'reflect on what is important ' and see if YOU can "Get a Grip" although I doubt it.

Evidently your memory is faulty so I'll repeat (for the second time) what YOU WROTE.
(Francis is) the first Pope in 1500 hundered years not to wear the red shoes
That is patently false which I pointed out earlier. What makes it worse, is that you don't have the integrity to admit your obvious error.
"Get a Grip" with the facts and history before you AGAIN make a fool of yourself.

Oy Vey!
Santo Subito switched to brown shoes and I'm happy that Francis is going with black. These days, red shoes on a man looks 'gay' and I don't care who wears them.

Who writes this piffle. The only difference is Pope Francis is drawing attention to himself by being the first Pope in 1500 hundered years not to wear the red shoes of the martyr.
He will hopefully learn to wear the shoes of his office as the Vicar of Christ.
Because he chooses different coloured shoes is not a mark of humilty, it is (hopefully unwittingly) attention seeking behaviour, that's all. …More
