Stay on topic.
Don’t criticize the person, criticize the argument.

][Pope] Leo wears the shoes of the fisherman, not the black Florsheim models that Trump insists his underlings wear…

Always sad to see the world's great pedophiles and pedophile enablers fighting.

Oh yes.

I also realize how little he's done to purge the RCC of the pedophiles it hides.

You're right.

I shouldn't expect people with such power to actually do anything. It's unreasonable.

Well it's nice to not have a pedophile pope for a change. No wonder Trump hates him.

Pope Leo wears the shoes of the fisherman, not the black Florsheim models that Trump insists his underlings wear…

Um Ackshually, traditionally the Pope has worn fancy red leather shoes. Pope Benedict even had his made by a special cobbler in Rome. But Pope Francis decided to wear black shoes instead, which the new Pope also likes.

I bet they are not practical at all for fishing, and probably more expensive than Trump's favorite Florsheims.
