I Dumped My Tailor

I’ve been getting hassled lately for my choice of stylish clothing. My tailor and I had our differences and we needed to part ways. I like Prada shoes and he happens to think a Pope should wear something more traditional.

Is it wrong for me to enjoy wearing Prada shoes and designer sunglasses?

It’s not like I pay for my clothes. I’m sponsored.

    I have a sponsor too, but I'm in 14 twelve-step programs. What's your excuse?

  2. Your Holiness,

    I don't think there is anything wrong with wearing Prada shoes and Serengeti shades. You're a 21st century pope and you need to look cool.

    Do you wear Calvin Klein undies and silk jammies to bed? I'd like to know.

  3. You should get a portrait made wearing sunglasses, a baseball hat and those red shoes. I'm sure that would not need to sell at a discount!

  4. Dear Mr. Pope,
    As any motivational speaker will tell you, clothes make the man. When you dress sharp, you feel sharp. Feeling sharp would give you more direct communication with God, would it not? So it only stands to reason that Prada shoes and other designer items are necessary for you to be more holy! Sheesh, its as plain as the nose on your (tailor's) face. Glad I could help.

  5. Thank goodness you fired Gammerelli. Those vestments were beginning to look dated.

    So when are miters going to be traded in for baseball caps?

  6. You need a really good pair of stonewashed Levi's.

  7. As long as it's a free ride, you should wear what you want and when you want to. Screw that tailor dude. What do they know anyway?

  10. I would love to see you break new ground in Papal fashion. Why not enter the spring with Holiness bermuda shorts or with a baseball cap that says something like, POPE ROCKS. You can do what you want - hey, who's da boss Papa?

  11. How about a Papal neighborhoodie that says "Rockin' in Vatican City" from

    I think something in a Gothic font would be quite seemly.

  12. Your Holiness, with all due respect, where are 213 year-old papal robemakers going to find other employment? Did you stop to think about that? For one thing, there's the age discrimination issue. For another, how much demand is there for papal robemakers? As a public figure, you need to consider the possible fallout of your actions.

    I am still your devoted follower, however.

  13. I'm with Gary. How about your own line of designer cassocks?
