Love the video John; the long single 'take' from the car, through the church and into the sacristy - and the thing that impressed me most was the great silence of the church and sacristy and the discreet presence of the Cardinal. I see that one priest kissed the Cardinal's ring standing, and another whilst genuflecting (which is not done in Urbe, but at least it's a mistake in the right direction!)
I'm a graduate student and tour operator living in Rome, Italy. Life is good. Studium Urbis! P.S. To know history is to be Catholic. P.P.S. Schedule your tour with us while in Rome.

df-the Superior General of the FSSP was the one who genuflected. He was most likely following the old traditions and did it deliberatley.
