Tuesday, August 12, 2003 The Original Spirit of Vatican II
Good Pope John XXIII, who championed Latin, knew how to make a grand entrance, and convened the Second Vatican Council, is pictured celebrating a Papal Mass. Compare to images from St. Bede's in London and S. Clement's (Anglo-Catholic) in Philadelphia this past Easter.
(Pontifical photos from the Roman Liturgy site of a self-styled bishop whose images of pre-conciliar pomp are as enjoyable as his clerical and chivalric claims are dubious.)
