Bring Back the Sedia Gestatoria

L'ultimo ad usarla.

The last time the sedia gestatoria was seen in St. Peter's Basilica.  

John Paul I in 1978.

  1. Lol! Bring back the sedia gestatoria ... with Pope Francis?! You've got to be kidding!

  2. Won't happen with this Pope, that's for sure!

  3. With this Pope, sorry meant to say bishop of Rome, the chance of using the sedia is below zero. Lets hope his successor embraces liturgical and non liturgical beauty, and does not consider them impediments.

  4. At least Pope Francis wears nice vestments. Much in the style of Gregory the Great. And much nicer than some of the stuff seen on recent popes.

  5. Not going to happen under any Roman Pontiff since the Servant of God John Paul I. Let us busy ourselves with the business of the salvation of souls, beginning with our own.
