Lace Alert

So the Pope wore a lace rochet again this morning.... Let the man wear whatever he wants, but don't you ladies out there take it as some kind of greenlight for Gessica-style gin and backbiting.

For more from the Granny's Tablecloth department, the Venerable Don Jim runs the legendary picture of John Paul II at S. Cecilia in Trastevere, where he wore fiddle-back, dalmatic, lace alb and the fanon -- each of which inspires pant-wetting from a certain set. The four combined is a Tridentine's equivalent of the Playboy Mansion. Or backstage at the Tonys, whatever.

So if that's your thing, check it out and don't make a mess from all the excitement.

Saw the FANON at http://donjim.blogspot.com/.

I've seen & read about this in the pre-Vatican II devotional/catethical books of my grandmother, and it's GOOD to see it again by the Holy Father.(Requiescat in Pacem)

KUDOS to "Papa Ratzi" for wearing a rochet - to show to MOST bishops that it is so much different from a surplice
