Just came across this excellent picture of the Pope during the fifth week of Lent last year.

Traditionally priests wear Rose (because 'pink' just sounds, like, totally gay) coloured vestments in the third week of Advent and the fifth week of Lent as a sign that the penitential season is coming to an end. However the Pope's fashion reminds me of another gentleman with such superb fashion sense...

Who knew the Pope was a fan of Miami Vice? I had always put him down as a traditionalist given his stance on most issues, but this pastel look has really made me think again. A lot of people do think that Benedict XVI has softened since his days as head of the CDF, and perhaps here's the proof. It seems last year's apostolic trip to the USA had aprofound effect on him. Perhaps next he needs to turn in the old Popemobile and replace it with a Ferarri Testarossa, then he'll really be able to uphold Canon Law in style!
