Your Holiness, I have forgotten asking you a little favour.
The case is: I need desperately a secretary. Could be a modest one, like your secretary, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, for example. Would you mind recommend me to the Almight in your prayers?
I thank you on my knees.
Sincerely yours, Ira.

Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, Pope’ secretary, also known as “Gorgeous George”.

We, Brazilians have changed the advertising of Daniela Cicarelli — she was in all her glory, as God has made her, I dare say — for the “welcome Pope banner”, at Consolacao Street. As you know, we Brazilians can’t stand people who has or uses little clothes…

Before

After
Bem-vindo Papa Bento XVI = Welcome Pope Benedictus XVI
(Aren’t billboards suppose to be banned in Sao Paulo?)

Oh yes! This Pope is very fashion. His red shoes are from Prada and he loves sun glasses from famous griffes. Who has not a pecadillo? People, behaviour like Christ, forgive him!


About red shoes business see my old post The Pope was pop once.

The Pope was pop once. At least in 1980, when John Paul II visited Brazil.

Here is the prove! Those lovely red shoes!
