Talk:Papal shoes

Untitled
Shoes and slippers should NOT be merged but both listen as sub-categories under papal vestments! Your problem, in the first place, was confusing the two, which lead someone to claim that Benedict XVI had restored the old papal slippers. A.M.


 * Why not just have one article on papal footwear? Breaking out into lots of small articles just makes it harder to find all the appropriate information. The fact that they're described in the same article doesn't mean the two matters have to be confused. --W(t) 17:43, 2005 Jun 21 (UTC)
 * The fundamental question seems to be: how encyclopedic is the subject per se? The topic doesn't seem relevant or vast enough to merit its own, separate article.  Even the merged article is not that big, it would fit without problems as a section of a larger article.  In my humble opinion, the best way to go would be to have it in this more general article about papal vestments (do we have that?).  In an unrelated subject, please remember to use tildes ( ~ ) to sign comments.  Regards, Redux 17:51, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

That's fine with me, provided someone corrects the statements about Benedict XVI restoring the papal "slippers". I am still learning to sign-off, so, for now, A.M.

Okay, I've corrected all the other articles. And figured-out signing-off. Athanasius 19:33, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If papal shoes and slippers are going to be merged, it should be done like this:

In order not to have to change any of the references in the other articles, which now all refer to papal shoes or slippers, the article's title should be changed to "Papal Shoes", which would include all 3 types of shoes. We have an article each on papal shoes and papal slippers. The painting of Pius VII should be the image connected to the Papal Slippers section and the photo I provided to the papal shoes section. I could write a short piece on the papal liturgical slippers, and that image of the slippers & 'gauntlets' (currently under papal slippers) could be included there.

Could You combine, then, Papal Shoes with Papal slippers and Papal Liturgical Sandals. I would suggest the following:

 * Such a merge looks like a very good idea to me. I might do it if I get round to it. The image of the slippers and gloves (on slippers) is missing source and copyright information. It shouldn't be used Zeimusu | (Talk page) 00:23, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

They're on the papal slippers page. The liturgical sandals are the ones shown with the gloves. The slippers are the ones on Pius VII. We really need a better picture of the slippers, eventually. (Athanasius 03:09, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC))

Double check Papal color cahnge to white
A Carthusian monk, all of whom wear only white habits, refused to change his garments starting the trend I believe, Worth some research perhaps.

The Shoes of the Argentinian
I am surprised to see no mention of the footwear associated with the current occupant of the see. --Haruo (talk) 16:04, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Problem with the explanation of the color
Etruscan and Roman priests wore red shoes. Surely the Church's explanation is covering for something—the red color of priestly shoes in Italy is older than Christianity by hundreds of years.72.68.108.107 (talk) 23:52, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
