ORIGINAL: Lucylastic you are making the mountain out of a molehill... I only wondered if the reason she wore the mantilla was because she was catholic?. That would make perfect sense to me. She is abiding by her belief system. I didnt even bother to look at the story in any detail, so I dont know if it was mentioned as a reason, I really DONT care enough to "need" to know, I was more interested in the popes feelings about the meeting, that was quite telling. But really, anyone thats bothered about hats and scarves, is as silly as me enjoying the hand slaps... a fun distraction of nothing burgers While trying to make sense of what is REALLY going on, with things like North Korea, the budget, the healthcare bill, terrorism, crime. plus a thousand more important other things... SO far, the trip has been interesting, not disastrous as an *event*, I give them that. According to Wiki, she is Catholic. The black dress and veil is part of protocol for personal meetings with the pope. Some that are considered "royals" are allowed to wear white. The current pope has relaxed the dress code stuff.
