I love this Pope! A light-hearted post for you. It looks like he's interested in bringing back some of the more traditional papal attire. The first red hat pictured is called a saturno, the ermine-trimmed hat is a camauro. Blessed John XXIII was the last Pope to have worn it. The red shoes, I've read, although I'm not 100% sure, have their origin in the Roman/Byzantine Empire. Anyone who has more info on the shoes should enlighten me.
