I don’t like it, but I guess he needed something to keep the sun out of his eyes.
 
I thought it was kind of cool. I’m not insulting him at all, I like it.
 
Trendy??? If that is trendy then I am totally out of the loop.😛 It looked like those caps that ‘old’ people wear.:cool: As for practical reasons, the Pope is pretty old I would guess that his hair is pretty thin and if he doesn’t wear a hat in the bright sun, then he will get a sun burn on his scalp. (My dad can attest that a sun burned scalp is very bad). And hey, it wasn’t a cap with a sports team logo on it. 🤷
 
Not that it was the Pope’s intention (I don’t pretend to know that 😉), but I think it’s cute. He’s an old man, for goodness sake! Let him wear something comfortable. God knows he’s got enough on his plate without worrying about fashion, too. :rolleyes:

I totally agree. I don’t know who would have a problem with this.
 
I think it’s awesome. I might just send him a Juventus cap:D (the Holy Father is a juventino :cool: )

He should be wearing a Padres hat. If not for the obvious connotation then for the fact that the season the Padres are having is nothing short of a miracle… 😃

To quote Jesus, “The healthy have no need of a Doctor, but the sick do”, the Padres don’t need his help, the Blue Jays certainly do!!!

Hey! Religion is religion, but baseball is LIFE.

We’ve got to keep our priorities straight!

Besides people, I’m a PIRATES fan (the few, the proud…well, mainly just the few) so I know about suffering! 😃

Amen to that! 😃 👍

I think it was a pretty cool-looking piece of headgear. At least it kept the sun out of his eyes while walking in the gardens of Castel Gandolfo with his secretary ‘BelGiorgio’. 🙂

As regards to him having thinning hair-not the last time I looked! Sometimes when the wind is blowing, he has to take off his skullcap [zucchetto in Italian] because it doesn’t sit on his THICK head of hair!

He’s brought back some of the older forms of papal headgear: the saturno [broad-brimmed hat] and the camauro [as some wags have called it ‘the Santa Claus cap’].

Now if he would only don the tiara…:cool:
