the high-fashion Pope Benedict

From The Bosh, Pope Benedict XVI is nothing short of a religious-fashion icon, riding in the Popemobile with red Prada loafers under his cassock and Gucci shades.

Well, this new Pope is here to say gluttony and high-fashion is not a deadly sin.

It was reported in "The Tablet," a Roman Catholic newspaper in England, Pope Benedict ditched long-time tailor (Annibale Gammarelli), whose firm has been serving the Vatican since 1792.

The paper also pointed out the new pope's expensive sunglasses and shoes -- and we thought only "tired queens" wore expensive designer clothes. In addition to designer sunglasses, the Pope has favored padded quilt jackets, jumpsuits, baseball caps.
