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.

Btw...there are plenty of critical comments on this thread but you choose to stalk me about a post that isnt even critical.

Deranged.and I asking you to stop stalking me

Actually, it should be: “Roman Catholic” [capitalized].

To delineate from the Eastern Rite and the proper (small ‘c’) catholic which means ^universal^ or, the church militant.

>>And I agree about Melania and Ivanka. Ivanka is revealing more and more to me that she is kind of a peacock.
********************************************************
Melania looked simply exquisite. Ivanka brought to mind the NBC peacock I used to see on the old black and white TV screen.

I also thought, if Hyacinth Bucket were visiting the Pope, she would have worn a veil that looked like Ivanka’s veil...all poofy and way over the top.

quote-who died?
Exactly. Frankie was bubbling with joy and laughter when he met Boobamba and the press was so gushing with praise of the puppet Pope.

The EU and Soros are pulling his strings and was he told to show a dour face.

But I love that Trump is beaming!

Yes. The faces plus the funeral type wear (which was planned well in advanced) is why death seems to be in the air over there.

You are always hostile to the Trumps. It is very close to being a #nevertrumper.

These Trump women always look fabulous and the majority here are very pleased with them.

You never have anything nice to say. You are very obvious about it.

Yes, there are plenty of other deranged comments on this thread - everything from anti-Catholic remarks to the usual Ivanka crap. That you are generally the primary leader in all that Ivanka does wrong (at least in your own mind), I don’t see anything wrong in calling you out on it.

Thanks for posting. Great to see these pics.

[miss marmelstein]

Yes, indeed. Any opportunity to bash “Papists” (a word I was brought up to despise because it reeked of anti-Catholicism) and Ivanka’s and Melania’s fashion choices. I guess they prefer The Mooch’s clothes...

AP photos are a no no on FR.

LOLOL!!

I don’t believe Melania has ever mentioned being Catholic. She is sometimes said to be Catholic just based on being from Slovenia. Her father’s Communist Party membership is probably and indication that there wasn’t much religious upbringing. She and Donald were married by an Episcopalian.

Except there is mothing critical in my post and you are acting like a deranged stalker. Make your posts to the ones being critical..not me...btw..you must have missed the dozens of posts yesterday that I posted about melania outfits.

Leave me alone..its stalking

I looked for confirmation- if Melania was Catholic-

The internet is all over the place on this subject-
But a good idea that She IS a Catholic- she had her
Rosary blessed by the pope-

I believe she was raised with respect to entering
churches- you cover your head-

If she would have been invited to an Islamic mosque (highly doubtful in Saudi Arabia- she would have covered herself) this is just more fake snewz to try and attack
the Trump presidency—

BTW— nancy Pelosi WAS NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE AN OFFICIAL
picture with the pope (benedict)- because of her stance on abortion-

[RummyChick]

B.S.. go look at the posts I made about m elanias outfits yesterday. Just stop lying about me.

And yes...I dont lim
ke ivanka’s lib policies..so what

[Delta 21]

The Trump’s are doing it right in a world of continual wrong expectations.

And this Pope doesnt have the grace to realize it.

[virgil]

Some women still wear hats or mantillas. It’s voluntary. They might be sending a traditionalist message to the pope.

[miss marmelstein]

Now you’re stalking me. Yes, yesterday you were complaining about Melania. What’s your problem with beautiful, fashion-conscious women? And to find fault now with wedding rings! Lunacy.

[MayflowerMadam]

“I started focusing an hour of my week on reading the Bible.”

Read and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. I pray you that He will help you find the answers you’re looking for.

[RummyChick]

This is a perfect example of you lying and stalking me. There is not a thing wrong with what I said about the choice to be austere in front of the pope ..and wondered if she ..indeed..left off the ring..and did ivanka too because I never paid attention to her wedding ring

Instead. You stalk me and turn it into something else..

As for yesterday..funny how you turn my praising of the way melania looked In many outfits to now a lie and say I was criticizing the way she looked.

Deranged

Leave me alone
