Fashion style is a recurring obsession in Francis' "Magisterium", for example when he repeatedly tells priests and seminarians what to wear and what not to wear.
This obsession has reached a new level. A year after the death of Benedict XVI, the supreme commander of Santa Marta ordered his master of ceremonies and the staff of the sacristy of St Peter's to remove the coat of arms of Benedict XVI from a set of chasubles in four of the five liturgical colours, writes SilereNonPossum.com (31 December).
The coat of arms will be replaced by the tiara and the keys of St Peter. The vestments with the coats of arms of Paul VI, John XXIII and John Paul II are [still?] in place.
SilereNonPossum.it calls this "a crazy expense". It would have been cheaper to buy new chasubles instead of carrying out this "damnatio memoriae".
After Benedict XVI's death, Francis showed all his contempt for his predecessor when he wanted Benedict XVI's corps to be loaded onto a minibus at dawn and brought into the Vatican Basilica through a side door.

Pope: It’s a new year and a new day. I’m calling for a meeting with Ru Paul for the next phase of my fashion statements.
“ he repeatedly tells priests and seminarians what to wear and what not to wear”
Fags are obsessive about things like that
We can take comfort in the fact, given his age and recurrent health issues, he’s unlikely to live out the year
I guess the polyester vestments with a grape sewed on the front aren’t faggy enough.
One of these years, Francis will hear the immortal words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” The question is, from whom?
Remember Bergoglio’s words to Ted McCarrick: “The bad ones, they never die.” In riso veritas.
