Maniple sightings

Kudos to Fr. Tim Finigan!

 

Nope.

The ordination was in the Ordinary Form.  And yes...

The archbishop is wearing his pallium...AS EXPECTED!  (Regular TPC readers would know what I am ranting about.)

And yes, dear folks, that little thing that you are seeing on the left arm of the ordinand is called a MANIPLE.

And yes, no matter what some liturgists tell you, the Maniple was never abrogated.  There are conflicting opinions about this, but I see nothing wrong with a beautiful piece of liturgical clothing.
