The dancing crucifix makes its way back to the center of the modern altar in this location! Who decided and why? Just leave that arrangement alone! And if you look at the main papal altar, six silver candlesticks and silver crucifix dead center are in place—who decides these things???
The Gregorian Chants for the Propers are splendidly done for this Requiem by the Sistine Choir. Why in the name of God and all that is holy the pope does not issue a TC authoritarian type document to say that Funeral Masses must use the proper Gregorian chants. Why Lord? Why, oh why, Lord?????
I don’t dislike that modern altar as I believe it has artistic merit. I just dislike modern features in Romanesque structures like St. Peter’s. It is out of place there!
