Pope Benedict XVI....
-
He is considered Royal Elected. So will be dedicated here as well.
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger is announced as the 265th Pope, taking the name Pope Benedict XVI.
He delivered these words;
"Dear brothers and sisters, after our great pope, John Paul II, the Cardinals have elected me, a simple, humble worker in God's vineyard. I am consoled by the fact that the Lord knows how to work and how to act, even with insufficient tools, and I especially trust in your prayers. In the joy of the resurrected Lord, trustful of his permanent help, we go ahead, sure that God will help. And Mary, his most beloved mother, stands on our side."
His full title : His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Christ, Successor of Peter, Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff, Patriarch of the West, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the State of the Vatican City and Servant of the Servants of God
I simply adore the Pomp and Pageantry of the Holy See. Love the robes and papal tiaras too...

The Papal Tiaras
The papal crown, or tiara, was traditionally worn by the popes of the past few centuries until the pontificate of Pope John Paul I. Like many ceremonial items, the papal tiara developed over time. Since the pope is also the Bishop of Rome, the successor of St. Peter, he wears a mitre for liturgical ceremonies; some historians posit that this custom originated in the apostolic times. However, since the pope is also the pastor of the universal Church, some kind of headdress was adopted to be worn outside of liturgical functions which would highlight his authority.

dude.. tats not prada laa
its his red liturgical shoes...
Regarding papal footwear, one must distinguish between papal liturgical sandals, papal slippers and papal shoes.
As did many noblemen, the Pope wore slippers (pantofole) inside his residences and leather shoes outside. The indoor slippers were made of red velvet or silk and were heavily decorated in gold braid, with a gold cross in the middle.
Papal outdoor shoes were made of plain red Morocco leather and had a wide cross in gold braid. The cross once extended across the shoe and down to the sole. In the eighteenth century the ends of the cross were shortened, as shown in the photo of Pius VII's shoes. This old-fashioned type of dress shoe is very thin-soled and is sometimes called "pantofola liscia" or smooth slipper model.
After 1958, Pope John XXIII added gold buckles to the outdoor papal shoes, making them similar to the red shoes worn by cardinals outside of Rome. Pope Paul VI eliminated the gold cross and completely discontinued the custom of kissing the papal foot. Paul VI can be seen wearing red buckled shoes in photographs from his 1964 trip to Jerusalem.
In 1969, Paul VI abolished buckles from all ecclesiastical shoes, which had been de rigueur at the Papal Court and for prelates. He also discontinued the use of the indoor velvet papal slippers and the pascal mozetta and shoes. Since then, Paul VI and John Paul I have worn plain red leather shoes whereas Pope John Paul II adopted brown shoes, although had worn the red-brown shoes earlier in his pontificate.
Paul VI, John Paul I, and John Paul II were buried in papal red leather shoes. Pope Benedict XVI has restored the custom of red shoes or loafers, which are provided by the papal tailors Ditta Annibale Gammarelli. -

He may never make the best-dressed lists, but 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. But his penchant for designer wear and a move to ditch the papal tailors who have dressed popes for more than 200 years are causing new wrinkles in the Vatican.
