Vatican paper: Pope does not wear Prada
I love the lead of this fun Associated Press story: The devil may wear Prada — but the pope does not.
According to the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, the bright red loafers that Pope Benedict XVI wears are not designed by the Milanese fashion house, as has long been rumored.
“Obviously the attribution was false,” the Vatican newspaper said in its Thursday’s editions.
“Such rumors are inconsistent with the simple and somber man who, on the day of his election to the papacy, showed to the faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square and to the whole world the sleeves of a modest black sweater,” it said.
“The Devil Wears Prada,” you might recall, was the name of a book and a movie that starred Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.
