U.S. President George W. Bush (L) poses with Pope Benedict XVI (C) and the first Lady Laura Bush at the Vatican Garden, in Vatican, 13 June 2008. George W. Bush was given a rare treatment during his visit to the Vatican, as Pope Benedict welcomed him at the Vatican Gardens, an area where popes pray privately and only particular guests are allowed to vsit it EPA/FILIPPO MONTEFORTE

After looking at this outfit closely, I agree with another FReeper who said her “veil” looks like the bathroom shower curtain. I guess lace was too feminine and “traditional.” The other photos don’t show just how horrid this outfit really is (black is definitely slimming from a distance). This looks like a crepe shift with matching coat over which she layered a satin blouse and patent belt. I say that because it looks like the black skirt and coat are the same shade of black, but the blouse is a different shade. But the coat isn’t even the right size! Look how the shoulders are falling off!

yep, I recognized the blouse right off that bat, it’s as ugly in black as it is in white.

Just as I thought! There’s the dress without the blouse over it! Looks like she’s holding the coat...

Wow, that dress is too tight and the slit in the skirt is all wrong, that is a very cheaply made dress IMHO

She wore that departing Italy, must be a smack in the face to the Pope.

Pope: "Lucifer, we finally meet face to face. I've read so much about you and your work. You are a challenging adversary I must say."

So inappropriate. It almost looks like it ripped and given how tight that skirt is it may have done just that!

(I ask because I don’t know for sure.)

Women are not to wear slacks. Black is the color. Arms are to be covered and a head covering is worn . . . traditionally a mantilla.

Yeah . . . the head covering's a bit much. Seems she always has to take everything to an almost ridiculous level.

But, hey. The arms were covered and she wasn't wearing multiple pastels. So, for that I am grateful.

Could a Catholic Freeper PLEASE explain to me why the Pope would meet with these two baby killers?

Perhaps the acts of another Pope will be illustrative:

As he entered St. Peter's Square to address an audience on 13 May 1981, John Paul II was shot and critically wounded by Mehmet Ali Ağca,[5][11] a trained expert Turkish gunman who was a member of the militant group Grey Wolves.[105]

--SNIP--

Two days after Christmas in 1983, John Paul II visited the prison where his would-be assassin was being held. The two spoke privately for 20 minutes.[5] John Paul II said, “What we talked about will have to remain a secret between him and me. I spoke to him as a brother whom I have pardoned and who has my complete trust.″
