Sure wonder what’s going on over there.<\/p>\n

Mail Online<\/em> has an article with loads of pictures<\/a> of the inauguration Mass of\u00a0Pope Francis yesterday , including the set-up work.<\/p>\n

Here is the altar being set up:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAs you see, the candles were put in the so-called “Benedictine” arrangement, the idea of Benedict XVI to set up a sort of wall across the front of the altar.<\/p>\n

But by the time Mass started, someone moved the candles off to the side at angles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What do you suppose transpired behind the scenes between then and then? And why?<\/p>\n

Pope Francis is obviously behind the change, since this all began only since he was elected. But I can’t imagine a pope running around in the sacristy with a liturgy checklist before his inauguration Mass. Maybe he had given the direction “From now on…” earlier, the work crew didn’t know this, and Msgr. Marini’s people caught it in time?<\/p>\n

Curious, and interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
