Italian activists tell Pope Benedict to ditch the fur cape
Filed under: Accessories, CELEBRITY STYLE, Fashion, Celebrity

Groups like PETA like to give fur-wearing Hollywood types a hard time -- but rarely do they try to mess with people as powerful as the head of the Roman Catholic Church. That's right, an Italian animal rights group AIDAA is trying to tell the Pope what to wear. They say he should ditch the fur cape that Popes have been wearing for hundreds of years as a sign of "love and peace to give a strong signal towards the protection of animals and the environment through a small but very significant personal sacrifice."
The way we see it, the Pope has three options. One: ignore the fur people, making them extra annoyed -- but hey Pope's are here to make everyone happy. Two: get a fake fur cape. For some reason, it seems like that would compromise the Pope's historical credibility. Three: ditch the cape all together, a move that's hardly fitting for the world's number one religious super hero. This is a tough one.
Imagine you were the Pope -- what would you do?

Well that is a tough choice... what if he trades it out with a Superman cape? that would keep some of his super hero quality right?
