Something interesting seen in the Manila Cathedral
The double beam cross is not for Cardinals but for Archbishops. It is called the Archbishop's Cross. The triple beam cross is for the Pope. Thus it is called the Papal Cross.
Hi TPC I got pics of a church in the Alabang area that's being built that you might wanna check out and feature here as well. Where can I send you the pics? Thanks in advance
Wow. The double beam cross for Cardinals.

not really, it's called patriarchal cross, a symbol of authority for metropolitan bishops or archbishops.
DeleteIt has been used many times during the time of Cardinal Rosales.
