Full article title: "Melania and Ivanka wear black veils to meet the Pope at the Vatican after deciding not to wear head scarfs on Saudi visit (just like Michelle Obama) - as Pope asks the first lady if she's feeding Trump cake"

First Lady Melania Trump and the president's daughter, Ivanka, dressed in all black and wore veils to meet Pope Francis on Wednesday, just as former First Lady Michelle Obama did when she met Pope Benedict.

The women traveled to the Vatican on Wednesday with President Donald Trump, who was meeting with Francis for one of his most high-profile talks.

Trump, Melania, Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner were greeted in a Vatican courtyard by Archbishop George Ganswein, the prefect of the pontifical household.

Melania and Ivanka kept with tradition and wore veils to meet Francis. The veil, or mantilla, is traditionally worn by women as a sign of respect when meeting the Pope. Trump senior aide Hope Hicks wore one as well.

Oooh, Frankie looks po’ed.

As for the black dresses and fashionable veils, that’s old style protocol - and is probably one of the things that made Frankie mad! He spends all of his time ranting against “traditional” Catholics.

I can only hope the Trump team knew this and did it intentionally...LOL!

I wear a veil and so do many others. I don’t really care if I look “dumb.” I’m wearing it for Our Lord and the angels and not you or any other mere mortal.

Perhaps Ivanka’s over the top veil is meant to be a parody. She knows who this pope is

The Pope smokes dope.

Bet he has a medical marijuana ID card.

What a marxist douchebag.

NOT remotely dumb. Having met and kissed the ring of Pope Benedict let me tell you I wore a lace mantilla as did everyone else there who met him. it is what is done, out of respect for the Pope. Has nothing to do with the popular culture in the church and what people wear in the pews.

“older women from the other side, Italy, usually wore black all the time.”

They were widows.

I think she is Episcopal/Anglican, which can be very close to Catholic. But, I’m pretty sure she isn’t Catholic.

I’m not Catholic, but if the Catholic church has a mechanism with which to impeach a Pope, then this is a good time to put it into motion. This guy is not a man of the Bible, he’s a leftist/globalist political hack.

Good for you.

Take some solace in the fact that you are going directly to God’s holy word and that’s better than anything else.

Not likely, or else he would be rid of that angry scowl on his face.

I wear a veil to Mass, and I am not alone.

You’re welcome. Also as to Melania’s rosary, that is a standard memento given when meeting the Pope, so it was not her personal rosary, and can’t be taken as any indication that she is Catholic.

I will be sure to tell all the ladies wearing hats and veils at my church that you think they look dumb.
