for what??? Why do we need these brides? Why do we need such power? The Church needs to be (again) an example of poverty, among the poor people.

We never heard that Jesus wore cappa...

@TiagoSGD E os ricos manda-os ao inferno? Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo veio pregar a harmonia e nao a luta de classes. Veja neste video uma modesta senhora, afro descendente, como esta' comovida com a missa.

The capa magna does indeed represent the finery of the world, its power and prestige. That is why after his entrance wearing it, the prelate is publicly stripped of this finery and humbled before the congregation. Then, vestment by vestment, the bishop is clothed in the new man of which St. Paul speaks, including the baptismal alb, the dalmatic of charity, the stole of pardon and the chasuble of mercy.

Good tradition is coming back slowly hopefully the new bishop will celebrate the the true Latin roman rite.

beautiful! the cappa magna conveys the dignity of the sacramental priesthood. It's about hierarchy and dignity, not modesty or whatever. Sacred vestments should be of silk and fine fabric because it's the vestment of Christ - we forget that at Mass, Christ uses the priest as an instrument and His body is made present under the species of bread and wine. All beauty in the liturgy helps to elevate the soul......for the rest of y'all who like polyester multi-color clown ponchos, go to clown masses.

RIDICOLI!!! VERGOGNATEVI! Il Dio del Vangelo era povero e MODESTO!

Quem é esse PAVAÕ CLERICAL?? deviam se envergonhar disso.

@TiagoSGD Well, you have your wish with the current Novus Ordo!!!! Simplicity, no reverence or sacredness, horrible music. It's all yours, buddy!

[tennantesque]

Whoever said the catholic church doesn't ordain women? As is evident here, it's been ordaining/consecrating old women for years!

The Church was given power and dominion over the world so that it could care for it in the way the Lord intended. Such things as the cappa magna are symbols to kings and great men that the church carries equal and more authority than they do; because the Church's authority is exercised for the care of God's kingdom. Good to see this back in favor.

the beauty of the liturgy. More than anything else it deserves to be called the splendour of the truth. It opens to the small and the great alike the treasures of its magnificence: the beauty of psalmody, sacred chants and texts, candles, harmony of movement and dignity of bearing. With sovereign art the liturgy exercises a truly seductive influence on souls, who it touches directly, even before the spirit perceives its influence.

[meiguoren777]

...one enters the Church by two doors: the door of the intelligence and the door of beauty. The narrow door... is that of intelligence; it is open to intellectuals and scholars. The wider door is that of beauty. Henri Charlier said, in the same vein, "It is necessary to lose the illusion that truth can communicate itself fruitfully without that splendour that is of one nature with it and which is called beauty." (L'Art et la Pensee).

[meiguoren777]

So it is that Christian art today is caught between two fires (as perhaps it always has been): It must oppose the cult of the ugly, which says that everything beautiful is a deception and only the representation of what is crude, low and vulgar is the truth, the true illumination of knowledge. Or it has to counter the deceptive beauty that makes the human being seem diminished instead of making him great, and for this reason is false.

A cardinal with a TRAIN . .splendid! Nobody does this kind of thing so well as Catholics!

Silly but magnificent!
