I'm so happy to be able to kneel at it. Our cathedral still has theirs, too, but, sadly, they don't use it on Sundays.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181589320170374720.post-75085340252529214782011-02-28T08:37:34.970-08:002011-02-28T08:37:34.970-08:00Nonsense!

It's a very splendid piece, considering that up until afew years ago, this would never been seen back in St. Peter's.<br /><br />It dates from the early 20th century.<br /><br />They should use this at Papal Masses. Rather than the kneeler that has to be carried out by Papal attendants.<br />I think this altar rail is wonderful. I hope it stays.<br />Now if only they'd bring back three other things:<br />1) re-attach the Papal Altar of the Cahir against the wall like it was prior to 1997<br />2). bring back the Sedia Gestatoria<br />3). Bring back the tall white Papal throne in St. Peter's that used to be used for Easter Masses and for Canonizations, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181589320170374720.post-62487212819498356652011-02-24T05:07:54.759-08:002011-02-24T05:07:54.759-08:00though not a very splendid piece...though not a very splendid piece...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
