The diabolical shoes were a giveaway

I saw a preview for a movie today that made me smile a little. It's called "The Devil Wears Prada." It's ostensibly about a difficult woman who runs a fashion magazine, but I couldn't help thinking of the little ears all over that pricked up when news that the pope wears Prada too. I hope other people make the connection. Hopefully with more subtle associations like this one. It doesn't take much to get a little truth about Babylon-Rome and its "emperor" under people's radar to give them a nudge towards a grassroots effort to push popery to the side and out of this country.

Just Look at him. I'm not superstitious like them but I think those red shoes are a red flag to us. They obviously don't go with that robe thing or his hat. An organization that big and powerful doesn't make little mistakes like this one. Well, it's not so little a mistake, I think. I think it was the Spirit who motivated him to get such indulgently expensive shows (isn't indulgence a sin?) to remind us in the modern world how misled he is, and to get ones that were red, to remind us of the color of the flames that will be licking at his soul for eternity, and of the skin of the one who rules down there.

I shouldn't be so angry, but to smugly think he can get away with such posh accessories because the world's too dumb is just typical and I'm annoyed with it. I'm not interested in seeing anything catholic at all. Even look at my name. I was named for my grandmother, who never took a sacrament a Sunday in her life, but she was Italian, and that's too close to home. Ever since I found my Lord after high school, I've gone by Jean just to distance myself.

Maybe I'll see this movie twice.
