The Popes wear read shoes and have been wearing them since going way back: "The tradition of the popes wearing red shoes were carried over from the customs of ancient Rome itself. In fact, by the time of the Byzantine Empire only three people are allowed to officially wear red shoes in the empire: the Emperor, the Empress, and the Pope. Even in art, depictions of people wearing red shoes are severely restricted to the above-mentioned or the angels. "
They signify many things- the blood of the martyrs, the bloodied feet of Christ on the Via Dolorosa, as carried His Cross to His Crucifixion, and they signify the Pope's submission to Christ.
Why the Democrats do this has absolutely NOTHING to do with why the Popes do this. Did it ever occur to you that the Dems may have done this intentionally? They often, as we all here know, choose good things and creatues God created to symbolise their EVIL. They also choose things to cause SCANDAL. Stop posting this crap that is not true.
