I believe he flies by an epesciplane but his seat is purely by cardinal numbers.

He isn’t maryed and can’t hold a candle to any anglicans by sheer mass of numbers.

I won’t have nun of it by george. For whom does the pell toll.
It tolls for thee!

He apparently doesn’t know that a man dressing up as a women is verboten under the law and I thought he was well red!!

I just realised what Pell’s facial expression in the first pic reminds me of: that silly look some dogs get when you watch them peeing!

Woah! Look at the big tomato! And the expression on his face. He looks like he’s just lost a very embarrassing bet with a High Anglican Archbish about wearing high heels, stockings and black lace suspenders under his robe during Mass.

I’m with Ron. What Would Jesus Wear? I’m pretty certain he wouldn’t have dragged up as some kinda bird of paradise or tropical reef fish.

Anyway thanks for the laffs, Mark.

My religious upbringing asks what the humble Christ would have thought of the trappings of clerical office.

I think the competition has a better sense of style.

Sorry, everyone, but I just can’t see the style. He looks like a badminton shuttlecock stuffed in a red condom.

Currency, I wear my beret in a big Mercedes too. It’s a wide, high, noisy monster of a vehicle that you can see coming blocks away. In fact it seats 72.

Looking like a supermarket manager in drag?

He’s one of those priests who manages to magically transform vestments into inappropriately coloured stuff between best-for-less shoes and chemist shop specs.

Papa Benedict has a touch of Hoganian beret vanity, Kim. Plus he bought himself a new Merc. Black one, I think - very chic.

Good Lord, what is that thing? As you know Mark, this state’s saintly former pater ecclesia - Frank Rush - would have smiled. And probably shaken his head.

Still, Pelly rocks - theologically.

The Pope is known for his humility. Cardinal Pell is known for???

How will he top this outfit for a procession through Sydney streets when WYD comes down under?

Down Oxford Street, perhaps?
