Light in the loafers?

The day the story broke about the Vatican's new restrictions on gays in the priesthood was the same day I found out about the pope's fabulous shoes. Coincidence?

I'm sorry, but there's no question about it: Those shoes are fabulous. I don't think the pope is gay, but seeing as how the Vatican document in question bans from seminaries those who participate in "gay culture" and apparently does not define what constitutes "gay culture," it does make one wonder if a man who favors fabulous red Prada loafers (and, apparently, Gucci sunglasses) would be allowed into seminary under the new rules. There are some who would say no...

(And are metrosexuals still allowed?)
