A recent ABC radio interview with an award winning sub-editor included the question "What is the cleverest (or your favorite) headline you've come across?". The response was a caption to a photograph of the newly-appointed Pope John-Paul shown skiing in Austria: "THE SCHUSS OF THE FISHERMAN".

Whilst the position of Jesus as the "original" fisherman is well-known, where does the phrase "shoes of the fisherman" in relation to the pope originate, apart from the 1967 film of that name? A google search didn't help much. Any ideas?
