I know I usually leave the liturgical eye-candy to other people, but I simply can’t resist sharing this photo with you.
It was taken earlier in the week, at an Ordination to the Diaconate.
Where ? No, it’s not the SSPX headquarters . . . it’s not even somewhere exciting in Italy : it’s in America; and that rather lovely seminary Chapel is so new that it was only consecrated three days before the Ordination !
Best of all . . . is the Bishop an exotic FSSP prelate from Europe ?
No – it’s the Most Reverend Arthur J. Serratelli, Bishop of Paterson, New Jersey, and – wait for this – significantly the Chairman of the US Bishops’ Conference Committee on Divine Worship (not to mention a Commissioner of the International Committee on English in the Liturgy) !
Clearly, ‘the times they are a changing’ !
(If you want to know more about the Ordination, you can ‘read all about it’ on New Liturgical Movement here.)
