You just know he's got the emerald shoes, too

Note: On my graphics blog, this post is accompanied by a photo of the popey guy in a garish green outfit. If you want to see it, here's a link.

The popey guy's such fun, isn't he? And damn straight he's got the emerald slippers to go with this outfit. If there's one thing the popey guy knows, it's coordinating dresses with shoes.

And crowns! Normal women just have tiaras, but the popey guy gets to wear something even better than a crown: a hat-crown! Very stylish.


So what's the popey guy been up to? I'm glad you asked. Why, just yesterday, at his grand poobah speech to the Roman Rota, he said the right to a church wedding requires that the bride and groom intend to "celebrate and live the marriage truthfully and authentically." (I think that's how they talk about sex at the vatican.)

As a parting shot, the popey guy threw out this comment: "No one can make a claim to the right to a nuptial ceremony." I wonder who he could be referring to. Seriously, I have no clue. 

Ah, popey guy, what would we do without ye?
