Bump for a great thread.

Or, you can listen to Fr Roderick Vonhögen, priest of the Archdiocese of Utrecht, The Netherlands, as he podcasted the crowd, live and at St Peter's Square,

I think it's awesome that here we have an ancient, thousands of years old tradition, and here we are as mere masses relaying the scene by technology unimaginable 40 years ago even by the most forward futurists!

What I do know is that I am God's pack animal, and, as such, close to him.

May God bless this holy man and may he "know" that millions of Catholics have encircled him with their love and prayers.

I can't get the link to work. Is there something I need to know about podcasting? I am pod illiterate.

I'm not a windows-head, but I imagine if you have QuickTime and/or iTunes installed on your machine, you should be able to click on the link and listen, or right-click, download the whole file, and then open it up in iTunes.

Very good explanation. Thanks.

I like the one Pope Benedict wore, but for the coat of arms, maybe the thought was to have it [the pallium] centered.

Innocent III wore his off to the side ...



Now there's an example to follow: interdicts, excommunications, Magna Carta null and void, all emperors, kings and prince vassals of the Pope, the Fourth Crusade (well, maybe not), and ... Simon de Montfort's war on the Albigenses!

"Pope Drops Papal Crown From Coat of Arms..."

Must be saving the Crown for the King...and I don't mean Elvis.

The bear and the scallop-shell-- a unique papal coat of arms

If the link you mean is http://www.rorate.com/podcasts/ci20050419b.mp3, that's a link to an mp3 file, which is an audio file, like a radio show or music. Podcasters frequently use the mp3 format for their shows.

You might want to right-mouse-button click on the link, choose 'save link as' and download it, then launch Real Player or Windows Media Player and load the file in Real Player or Windows Media Player.

An FYI: he's in the Square for maybe an hour or so before the smoke turns definitely white, and it's a while after that before St Peter's bells begin ringing, which is the definite signal that the conclave elected a pope.

I really like the phrase "cooperators veritatis" -- but when you compare it to the phrase on the design in Post #4, there's an extra letter in the phrase "cooperators" - the print is small on my screen and it looks like "cooperatores" -- Is anybody here competent in Latin and can clarify?

That's a typo. It should be 'cooperatores veritatis'.

Thanks for the ping! Lovely thread.

Grazie for the clarification!

Grazie is Italian.

Gratias is Latin.

Golly, you learn something new every day!
