    Does the Catholic Church have a rule about black dresses a childhood of indoctrination made me unfamiliar with? Or is this for Manchester?https://twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/867335086890528768 …

        It's protocol. Google pics of Michelle Obama and Laura Bush meeting the pope & they're dressed similarly.

        I thought same but supposedly this attire is customary for formal meetings inside the vatican. Who knew? http://www.herald-dispatch.com/multimedia/photo_galleries/gallery-the-obamas-visit-the-vatican/article_2356f7a7-2bdb-5758-bf64-f1585ce8b485.html …

        Proof I never met the Pope when I was part of Catholicism, I guess.

        Only certain Catholic Princesses can wear white, all else must wear black with black mantilla.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privil%C3%A8ge_du_blanc …

        Did you learn that in your raised-Catholicness? Or just look it up?

        Dolce & Gabbana black frocks de rigueur when meeting the Holy Papa. Nothing says "modesty" like Dolce & Gabbana.

        Interesting that they respected the wishes of the Vatican and wore a veil, but not in Saudi.

        Funny that it's 'ok' for Trump women to wear a customary wrap around there head on this patch of land, but not the one they were just on.
