One could be forgiven for thinking the Pope was Santa during his weekly audience this week. He wore a red velvet cap, called a camauro, worn by medieval popes but rarely worn in recent times. It's simply to keep his head warm. Together with his red cape, he looked a bit like Santa.
Doesn't anyone think he did this on purpose? Germans have a very peculiar sense of humor most don't understand and I'm nearly convinced the Holy Father was trying to be cute.
I think he succeeded. :)
OH, WOW...talk about clashing reds. My eyes hurt.
