Pope Leo is certainly at home at Castel Gandolfo.
A packed, hot Church, but Pope LeoXIV is cool as a cucumber.
One peculiar mistake, and that’s the deacon’s mistake and the MC’s mistake for not taking it off the altar right away. Do you see it?
I haven’t watched the video of the Mass to see how all that happened.
Nice miter, no?
Do you see the glitch?
UPDATE ON THE GLITCH: I just watched the video. It’s the deacon’s fault. The MC is not your typical papal MC. Maybe he is a member of the parish staff? But he doesn’t see it and he should have and then corrected the deacon’s mistake.
Unfortunately, the correction takes place after the Holy Father incenses the altar, with a huge thurible, I might add. As he washes his hands, the camera focuses on other things. I think the pope, while washing his hands had to tell the MC to correct the mistake, because when the camera returns to the focus on the pope, the mistake is corrected. Thanks be to God.
A disclaimer: I am a former MC for the Diocese of Savannah for the late Bishop Raymond Lessard. So these are things I obsess on. Medication doesn't’ help.
