At the Vatican, only six women hold the privilege of wearing white and all other women wear black.
So who are these six women that are allowed to wear white to meet His Holiness the Pope?
Yes! Only six Catholic women including Queens and Princesses of Europe are allowed to wear white to meet the Pope.
Princess of Monaco Charlene Wittstock, Queen Sofia of Spain, Duchess Maria Teresa (wife of the Duke of Luxembourg), Queen Matilda of Belgium, Queen Letizia of Spain, and Marina Princess of Naples.
The Protocol obligates all other ladies from all around the world to wear bashful dresses and cover their heads, the required color is black. As well, men are not allowed to wear white clothes, whatever their title or position is.
Pope Francis and the Muslim Girls’ Feet:
The birth name of Pope Francis is Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He is the Pope number 266. He was born in Argentina. He is the first Pope from outside of Europe. In 1969, he suffered from a serious illness and was teetering between life and death for three days, which made it necessary to eliminate one of his lungs.
During the Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper at Rome’s Casal del Marmo prison for minors, His Holiness Pope Francis washed the feet of 12 young people of different nationalities and faiths, including at least two Muslims and two women, who were housed at the juvenile detention facility. No Pope washed the feet of women or non-Catholics in history before.
