The Pope's red shoes represent the feet of Christ who wet his feet with blood on the Cross, Benedetta De Vito writes on MarcoTosatti.com (December 2).
She recalls Francis who made fun about a “traditionalist” lady who considered him an anti-pope because he doesn’t wear the red shoes. De Vito replies, “This hurt me because the red shoes were publicly ridiculed by the one who was supposed to defend them.”
Symbols are not “waste paper,” De Vito explains, but show the mystery of the invisible Faith.
According to her, the Holy Father should be proud to wear the red shoes which represent the Sacrifice of Christ whom the Pontiff has the honour to represent on this earth.

Are we gonna get a citation for what "The Church teaches" from Canon Law or the Catechism? Probably not... No matter. I see the word "anti-pope" and I hear the heavy wings of the angel of death heading towards someone who didn't read the Announcement. :D

Original story in 2015: A journalist asked 'There have already been discussions about a communist Pope, now there are event those who speak of a Pope who isn’t Catholic. In the face of these considerations, what do you think?'.
Pope Francis answered 'A cardinal friend of mine told me that a very concerned woman, very Catholic, went to him. A bit rigid, but Catholic. And she asked him if it was true that in the Bible, they spoke of an antichrist, and she explained it to him. And also in the Apocalypse, no? And, then, if it was true that an anti-pope, who is the antichrist, the anti-Pope.
But why is she asking me this question, this cardinal asked me? “Because I’m sure that Pope Francis is the anti-pope,” she said. And why does she ask this, why does she have this idea? “It’s because he doesn’t wear red shoes.”'
