“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” - Fr. Z

This is an awesome video.
I did not realize how UGLY the old Papal vestments were! Does Wal-Mart need new draperies?
cute :)
“Not yet” hahaha..
It always strikes me strange that the Pope Benedict is shifting towards these more traditional vestments and things but removed the tiara in his coat of arms..
maybe pope benedict could wear the tiara. It could be awesome
Comparing pictures of Marini I and II, Marini II almost always has his head bowed in prayer, and Marini I is heads up and looking around. And this is basically the difference between their two philosophies of Liturgy. Marini II leads a Liturgy in which one feels compelled to “turn towards the Lord” in prayer, to participate with the Priest interiorly in meditation. Marini I promotes a Liturgy in which one feels compelled to sit back and watch the show unfold, to watch and be entertained by dancers, singers and florescent vestments.
All that this proves is that both Papal MCs lack any instinct for colour and any sense of good design.
Curious choice of lyrics…is this a campaign video for a conclave thirty years hence?
Great video – thanks for posting. Huzzah for ‘Not Yet!’
