Papal Fashion Tip #2

It's been almost a month since my last Papal Fashion Tip, so here's a great Pope picture I found on Google.

Praying the Rosary has always seemed a bit nerdy and overtly pious, particularly in public, yet the Holy Father has managed to make it look cool again. A nice summers day out with Catholic housewives favourite Papal Secretary Msgr Gaenswein (right) and the Pope manages to both pray a devotion to Our Blessed Mother and be fashion conscious at the same time. The amazing thing is that all it took was a pair of dark sunglasses. Now where have I seen that before?

Though I am sure His Holiness does not condone neither the violence nor the explicit language of Reservoir Dogs he has certainly tapped into the fashion trend. No prizes for guessing who played 'Mr White' in the papal version...
