PLEASE NOTE THE HOOD ON THE PAPAL MOZZETTA—SINCE THE KING IS NOT CATHOLIC, THE POPE DOES NOT WEAR THE PAPAL STOLE TO MEET WITH THE KING BUT WEARS IT LATER FOR THE MIDDAY PRAYER LITURGY OF THE HOURS. BUT BACK TO THE HOOD, IS THIS NEW FOR POPE LEO TO WEAR THE MOZZETTA WITH THE HOOD???
I am not sure, in fact I am puzzled, why Vatican News called this Catholic/Anglican Midday Liturgy of the Hours an Ecumenical Prayer for Care of Creation.If you watch the video below, there isn’t a melting iceberg or a felt and burlap banner with a climate change thermometer. It is simply Solemn Sung (and beautifully so) Midday Prayer!
Ecumenical Prayer for the Care of Creation presided over by His Holiness Pope Leo XIV
I am fascinated by the papal throne, not used for Midday Prayer, and especially the two tapestries on either side of the throne. I can’t make out what these are, although the one to the left of the throne from the camera’s vantage point, seems to be the barque of Peter????
Why is the throne there with the tapestries????????
HERE IS THE VIDEO OF THE MIDDAY PRAYER:

The wooden throne is not new but very old. It was always placed there for the popes. Why it wasn’t used was modernism pure and simple. The pope was hesitant to act like a pope in front of Protestants. That’s why.
By all accounts , Pope Francis blessed Charles and Camilla’s union during their brief visit before his death.
What, maybe blessed them as individuals but not their union unless he granted her an annulment! How would the Church of England of which the King is head, feel about that?
It was private and informal. He gave them both a blessing so make of it what you will.
Camilla’s husband is 80, when he dies they’ll be free to have their marriage convalidated officially.
Make a mess!
