| Piero Marini, New Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship? |
(Vatican) Will Archbishop Piero Marini (not to be confused with the current papal master of ceremonies Guido Marini) be the new Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments? Voices are coming to agreement. Some have no doubts any longer.
The Catholic monthly magazine Il Timone reported on its website that there is no longer any doubt for a certain "high prelate": "The decision has been made on him. There is only a notice lacking."
1987-2007 Papal Master of Ceremonies With a Lack of Liturgical Sensibility
Piero Marini was papal master of ceremonies 1987-2007 under Pope John Paul II. He was confirmed by Pope Benedict XVI. in this office dismissed and replaced at the end of his regular term of office by Msgr. Guido Marini. Despite the similarity of names there is no relationship between the two. Especially the liturgical sensibility which is markedly different, which was the reason for the personnel reshuffle under Benedict XVI.
The now 72 year old Piero Marini never forgave Benedict XVI. for his removal from office and publicly made no bones about it after his resignation. Immediately after the election of Pope Francis it was first speculated there would be a dismissal of Master of Ceremonies Guido Marini and the return of Piero Marini in his old office. The reason for this was that Pope Francis summoned Piero Marini on April 4, 2013, just three weeks after his election as head of the church and received in audience. The content of the conversation was not known, but the audience was unusually early (see Guido Marini again instead of new (old) master of ceremonies - Piero Marini in audience with Pope Francis ).
Under Francis 'One Breathes Fresh Air After Swampy-stuffy Air"
Piero Marini said in an interview shortly afterwards, under Pope Francis "one breathes fresh air after the swampy-stuffy air" under Benedict XVI. At the same time the Curial Archbishop spoke of an "opening" of the Church For homosexuals (see Ex-Master of Ceremonies Piero Marini: Under Francis "one breathes fresh air after swampy-stuffy air" ). Soon afterwards there were Vatican rumors for Pope Francis to raise Piero Marini much higher and make him Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship (see Piero Marini next Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship? rumors about personnel changes at the Vatican? )
On August 28, Cardinal Antonio Cañizares Llovera the then reigning Prefect and the new archbishop of Valencia, which meant his removal from the Roman Curia. The appointment of a successor has not yet been announced, but is likely to be imminent. For more than one voice in Rome, the new prefect, the "choreographer" and "designer" of the event appearances and event vestments of Pope John Paul II. for which Benedict XVI. began, with the help of Msgr. Guido Marini, to reject the permanent new acquisitions and to exploit the rich fund the papal vestments of his (pre-conciliar) predecessors and recover sacredness.

Who didn't see this coming?
Pretty much a no brainer.
He has spent his life with his head in a toilet bowl. Or worse. What could he possibly know of fresh air?
When. Will the beatings. Stop. ?
I think it's one of those things where you only get as much suffering as you can handle.
No, ww know, Anonymous. We do know. And "Ratz" is not very respectful. :((
This must be a bad new game of "Who's The Bigger Heretic."
Guys, c'mon now. Marini here is 72. He's only got another three years to retirement. What could he possibly do? We've all seen the outlandish vestments, we've all seen the bishops don their rainbow coloured vestments. We've got the clown Mass, the Carmen Miranda Mass, the Restaurant and Snake Mass, the Cowboy Mass, the Flamenco Mass, the Focaccia Bread Corpus Christ procession, the World Cup vestments. What else is there?
Anonymous at 3.34pm is right about these prelates being a bunch of old farts. They all seem to be going through some kind of old man's mid-life crisis.
Guys, brace yourselves, it can only get worse. I mean, all those priests that were ordained and formed in the '80s will soon become the prelates and popes of tomorrow... These priests only know a post-VII church with no collective memory of an ancient Catholicism to even feel guilty or morose about if they transgress it. They have no idea.
Well, you can embrace the world and its ways, and do whatever you will. You can avoid suffering on Earth, but you'll be in Hell for all eternity. Yeah, we can complain, but the best people are those who can withstand all that suffering and offer it up to Jesus who had to carry everyone's sins.
Can you imagine all of the rapes and murders and other sins being handed to you, and you have to answer for them?
What is this compared to some old men with stupid ideas? Remember, not all of us live to 100 years, and it's a very short amount of time from now to when we die. So that short, brief moment that we live and suffer, let us offer it to Jesus, because that's the only way we can bear it; the alternative is to run away from suffering, which is an exercise in futility, and leads to damnation because you have squandered an opportunity to prove your mettle and let yourself be known as worthy of Christ's promises.
God help us!
Dear Anonymous-es (Anonymi-?), could you at least try and call yourselves something, like 'Clash of the Titans', or "Wrath of Khan" or Crusader, or El Cid, or 'Peter the High King of Narnia'. One just doesn't know which Anonymous one is addressing. I at least put the time down to differentiate when replying to one of you...
Re: your last point ... it's worse than that. Even if, miraculously, the generation that grew up in the post-VII church begins to see how wrong-headed the whole thing is and attempts to change course, they won't know how. They never received the ancient faith as a living tradition, and so anything they might try to impose would be a fiction arising out of their own imaginations as to what it must have been like in the old days. Except (maybe) for some small pockets of faithful here and there, there aren't any more branches that have the sap of Catholicism flowing through them.
No new act for the dog and pony show.
A funeral is more cheerful than this crew. And a lot of disrespect for priests. I would frankly prefer to attend an NO Mass with some humble people than the most glorious EF with this bunch of - sourpusses - .
"Well, you can embrace the world and its ways, and do whatever you will. "
Where the heck did that come from?
Dear Anonymous at 7:05, um, I'm not a traditionalist. The NO is my main Mass, though I have been to the TLM a couple of times... I'd rather use the word 'pious', as I think 'names' for Catholics causes divisions. I think you're either Catholic or not.
I do take your point about disrespect for priests. But, at the moment I really feel sullied. Dirty. The Sacrament of Matrimony is my Sacrament. The priests have their Holy Orders, I have my Marriage Sacrament. The inclusion of Daneels in this Synod sent me reeling. Awful, everything about it.
Elder Anonymous' admonitions.
It's all about preference with people like you, though, and no respect for the things of the Catholic Faith which require an assent not only of the will, but the comprehension of the intellect, even one as humble as your own.
I suppose none of this surprises me. I've seen criminal negligence rewarded for years and years on the local level and talked to individuals who were periti at the unfortunate Council who not only didn't have a Catholic bone in their body, but were full of deceit and malice.
Best to have a pure heart, but don't be nobody's fool, neither.
Wow. Preach it brother.
The faggots are in control of the machinery of the Church.
By the way, Jorge, what ever happened to those dossiers on the fag cabal in the Vatican? How come your journalistic fans are not hounding you about it's existence like the hounded Pope Benedict?
Sean
Here you are again the bunch of "rats" biting anything or anyone that is different from you smelly traditionalist. You are a bunch of ignorant and hypocrites, So shut up and let people with different ideas live.
No, they're people who are legitimately fed up with the malfeasance and misrepresentation.
