I agree….it appears to be the stole.
Doesn’t proper vesting dictate that the stole should have been tied down under the cincture? It seems that this confusion wouldn’t have happened had that been done.
CradleRevert says: the stole should have been tied down under the cincture?
Yes, indeed. It should have been. And it might have been… who knows. But I am pretty sure that his stole.
My first thought was that his stole got caught up in his arm under his chasuble or something. Seems too long to be a maniple.
I am amazed at the number of vested priests who take pictures with their phones during papal masses, etc..
I hope it doesn’t seem mocking to recall how quite a few singers prohibit the use of phones during their concerts. It spoils things. It also spoils this rather more important event. Presumably, a rule of not using phones at Mass in St Peter’s Basilica applies, but really the Pope could consider saying a word or two on it. A priest should know better. [This is a rabbit hole. Big deal.]
Despite the sartorial mishap, he looks like a pope here.
That has happened to me once or twice. If you look carefully at the second picture you can see his cincture; somehow the stole has come adrift.
Just what does the camicia griccia look like?
As to polyester, can’t we just say: anathema sit?
Do stoles usually have ornamented ends?
It seems as if the dalmatics don’t match.
I can read Monsignor Marini’s mind.
First picture; ” Oh NOoooo, his Holiness has that floppy stole caught on his arm, I told him not to wear that! It makes it look the maniple that I asked him to use.”
Second picture; ” Oh great! now it’s extremely obvious. I just know that Father Z is gunna post pictures of this with some kind of arrows or something and make me look like a fool.” “In the name of the….”
As serious as liturgical vestments are, this post cracked me up. I think it is the white arrows.
camicia griccia ???? I assume from my bad translation that this would be a shirt (as is cami, camisole, etc. ) but what is griccia? Is that the same as silk?
ps. or decorated silk with some sort of ornamentation?
