Vatican II in brief, from Cardinal Bugnini to Pope Francis | Churchmouse Campanologist



Vatican II in brief, from Cardinal Bugnini to Pope Francis | Churchmouse Campanologist:

"A number of Catholics and Protestants still recall the bolt of lightning hitting St Peter’s Basilica a few weeks ago when Pope Francis was elected.

The Pope’s behaviour since then continues to perplex the faithful. He has shunned most of the papal wardrobe, including small but significant attire, such as the pallium, a simple stole which symbolises Christ as the Good Shepherd carrying a lamb on His shoulders. It transpires that Pope Francis will eschew living in the papal apartments, choosing instead to live at the Santa Marta residence with the cardinals."
