This would be monumental.<br />Not only would it be appropriate so that people can actually see the Pope in ceremonies and audiences, but it adds to the reverence and magesty of a Papal ceremony.<br /> John Paul II discarded it in 1978 because he was supposedly too "macho" to deign to use the Sedia.RIDICULOUS REASON.<br /> I also read that he refused to wear much of the more ornate Papal regalia because they made him hot. <br />IT's well known that several Popes didn't like the Sedia, but nevertheless used it all the time.<br />John XXIII hated it because the swaying as the Sedia moved made him slightly nauseous.<br />Paul VI hated it because he had a fear of being yanked from it by over zealous pilgrims, or it toppling over with him in it.<br />John Paul I hated it because he hated being the center of attention...yet he used it anyway.<br />Three Popes who used it all the time, despite having a dislike for it.<br />John Paul II's reasoning was totally invalid and ridiculous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181589320170374720.post-108564713774416082009-11-29T10:19:14.391-08:002009-11-29T10:19:14.391-08:00Thank you John for letting the Pope know we love h...Thank you John for letting the Pope know we love him.Volpius Leoniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273209983337706262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181589320170374720.post-73762693118040756972009-11-29T06:41:23.608-08:002009-11-29T06:41:23.608-08:00to stand in the shadow of the Pope
