The color red commemorates the blood of Christ and the martyrs of the Church, while signifying the fire identified with the Holy Spirit, according to theology professor Lawrence Cunningham of Notre Dame. Since the 16th century, papal shoes and slippers had been handmade in red satin and embroidered with gold thread."<br /><br />I WAS SO GLAD THE FIRST DAYS I SAW POPE FRANCIS WITH BLACK OLD SHOES. DID JESUS HAD RED SHOES AND SLIPPERS? NOT AT ALL. FRANCIS is HUMBLE and he wants to give money to the poor, not to luxus. His ring is silver with a little gold on the outside. He don't live in a big appartment, but between other people in a smaller house. For all these things and more, HE IS A POPE TO MY HEART. POVERTY and HUMBLE, like FRANCIS from Assisi, like JESUS himself. Thank you Francis, for the Example you give. Have You seen that Pope Benedict when I came to the Vatican last, als had black shoes, no more red. BRAVO BENEDICTUS, BRAVO FRANCIS! and thank you very much.<br />riahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14462056423051043567noreply@blogger.com
