Yahoo/CNN is running an article pondering why Melania wore a veil to the Vatican but not to Saudi Arabia.

That she's from a mostly Catholic country and thus might be a Catholic didn't occur as a possibility to the keen reporters over at CNN.

She didn’t wear a veil to the Wailing Wall either, which I understand is “required”. I think she has respectfully made the statement that she honors her God in her Christian faith.

It may be because it is Protocol requirement for the Vatican but it is not for Saudi as per King (or spokesperson) She is not wearing a veil while meeting with the children.

And one more correction: the article says

"Last Judgement .. ― a moment in Catholicism where a soul is sent to heaven, purgatory, or hell."

Not so. That's what happens at the "Particular Judgment" --- the one that happens an instant after you're dead -- you get Heaven, Purgatory or Hell.

At the Last Judgment --- the one that happens at the end of the world --- the options narrow down to two: Heaven or Hell.

At the end of the world, there's no more Purgatory. That was just a temporary purifying state that does not and cannot persist into eternity.

I'm sure the conclusion at CNN/Yahoo is that Trump told her not to wear a hijab in Saudi Arabia because of his hatred for all muslims.

Of course, Mrs. Clinson wore a veil as well, but she tied it under her chin like a babushka. The Italians made great sport of that!
