“Messa in Latino is reporting ...

“... that a red, fur-lined papal mozetta was hurriedly delivered by Gammarelli to the Vatican today.” (See image of Pope Francis’ predecessor adorned thus.)

You know what they say; it's always darkest just before they turn the lights on. Stay tuned for non-liturgical dancing tomorrow in the streets of Rome, as the 266th Pope of the Holy Roman Church formally assumes his office. Viva il Papa!
