Pope's shoes not made by Prada
Speculation that the Pope wears designer clothes has been flying around since he was elected in 2005, The Times of London reported Thursday.
The Pope's brightly colored red shoes and attractive sunglasses have prompted many to deem him a "style icon," the Times said.
The rumors were cleared up Thursday in L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper.
Vatican sources said the Pope gets his shoes from Adriano Stefanelli, a cobbler in Novara, Italy.
Spanish writer and author, Juan Manuel de Prada, wrote in the article the Pope is a "simple and sober man" and rumors saying otherwise were "stupid and banal."
"The Pope is not dressed by Prada but by Christ," he said.

Well, I guess it just goes to show "the Devil wears Prada." So, if you're a Catholic, then of course Benedict doesn't wear the brand. And if you're a Protestant, . . .
