John, this is a magnificent photo that you published. Does it happen to know who was the presiding Pope? I suspect it is John XXIII. Unfortunately, this great altar so close to so many popes was destroyed (!!!) during the early years of John Paul II's pontificate. A criminal act. Rip K.
Some of it? Try all of it. That it was originally done away with in the first place was a crime, plain and simple. I'd rather not see the resurgence of triumphalism and out liturgical patronage permanantly diluted.
Not that I'm complaining, JP, but have you absorbed the person formerly known as "Leo" at The Far Sight 2.0? If not, where is he?
