On his first papal trip to the US, the Pope Benedict XVI has made headlines with his comments on clergy sex abuse scandal that has rocked the American church. But the one reason average Americans are noticing this visit of Pope even more is for his latest fashion statement.

Faith and fashion may be an unusual mix but Pope is proving to quite a style icon wearing no less than bright red Prada loafers on his visit to the US. His first visit is the most talked about event in the American media.
But 81-year-old Pope is creating some fashion news as well. It is not just Prada loafers but Gucci sunglasses, stocking caps, and Ermine capes that have made the Pope quite a style icon and getting attention the world over.
"Those red shoes have made quite an impression," Vatican historian Alberto Melloni said.
He may never make the best-dressed lists, but Pope is nothing short of a religious-fashion icon, apart from everything else.
