"...donning a black outfit and veil for a meeting with the Pope in 2017..."

Uh, Jackie Kennedy wore a floor length black gown and black mantilla when she met Pope John XXIII in 1962. I guess only Democrats can do that.

The sure have been a lot of nuns all dressed in black from head to toe meeting with the popes over the years. I think that black is respectable.

That sentence was poorly written-—the writer was saying that she DID follow tradition meeting the Pope,but did not in Saudi Arabia.

That was Melania following protocol. The article was implying that not covering her head in Saudi Arabia was not following protocol...

I believe a long black dress and veil are required dress for a woman to meet the Pope.
