Oh No!! Here We Go Again! Why Can’t A Pope Look Like A Pope!!?

I’m sorry, I know this is a bit off the beaten pathway here today….but I don’t think I can take another Pontificate with these egregiously horrific Papal vestments. I’m utterly appalled at how they are adorning the Pope, and this was his Installation no less. It’s ridiculously preposterous that at the enthronement of the Vicar of Christ on Earth and Supreme Pontiff of Holy Mother Church there was literally no Throne worthy of the name anywhere in sight. Only that wretched Ivory colored chair that looks like it was stolen from a 2 star hotel…..and I don’t even want to get started on his shoes, or whatever those objects were on his feet. 😡 I agree with another poster, even Francis’ Installation was much better appointed than this. Yes, simplicity has its place, but a Papal High Mass or Ceremony is not one of them. All of it looked like garbage. It’s just so sad that this is where we are again. Why can’t we do better? And to think, we’ll most likely have to put up with this gross miserliness and these drab, bland, penury-stricken looking Papal vestments, appointments and furnishings throughout what could be a very long Pontificate. It’s a crying shame. Heaven help us…Lord give me strength. 😟
