I of course regret this.<BR/><BR/>But the "red hat" still means what it says.<BR/><BR/>The galero still survives in a cardinal's coat of arms. And there are cardinals who have a galero made privately in order to keep alive the venerable tradition of suspending the galero over their tomb.<BR/><BR/>Will the old ceremony ever be resurrected ? I don't think so. Has, then, the galero disappeared as an external sign of cardinalatial rank ? No, it has not.PeterHWrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734936083886678494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321606.post-62147468599567610622008-11-09T07:21:00.000-08:002008-11-09T07:21:00.000-08:00I wonder why if Benedict XVI can restore a small f...I wonder why if Benedict XVI can restore a small fraction of the pomp and beauty at Papal Masses (esquisite vesture, music, altar, Pontifical thrones), why he can't allow -especially for the next consistory to name new Cardinals-the return of both the Cardinal's red cappa magna, and the red galero?<BR/>It would be a great gesture if he did allow it's re-introduction. And the Sedia Gestatoria! : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
