It is not my intent to offend any Catholics that may frequent this board. But I see the way the Pope and his following dresses and wonder where this came from. I can't help but believe that if He could see the Pope all dressed up in his fancy attire Jesus would be surprised if not dismayed. This "showy" ostentatious manner of dress seems to be in direct conflict with the humility they should be presenting. What am I missing? It seems the Amish are closer in practice to what Jesus would have liked.
