One of global Catholicism's most prominent chroniclers, Rocco Palmo has held court as the "Church Whisperer" since 2004, when the pages you're reading were launched with an audience of three, grown since by nothing but word of mouth, and kept alive throughout solely by means of reader support.
A former US correspondent for the London-based international Catholic weekly The Tablet, he's been a church analyst for The New York Times, Associated Press, Washington Post, Reuters, Los Angeles Times, BBC, NBC, CNN and NPR among other mainstream print and broadcast outlets worldwide.
A native of Philadelphia, Rocco Palmo attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. In 2010, he received a Doctorate of Humane Letters honoris causa from Aquinas Institute of Theology in St Louis.
In 2011, Palmo co-chaired the first Vatican conference on social media, convened by the Pontifical Councils for Culture and Social Communications. By appointment of Archbishop Charles Chaput OFM Cap., he's likewise served on the first-ever Pastoral Council of the Archdiocese, whose Church remains his home.

Immaculate Conception Parish, DC. Purple and very light rose on the celebrant. Purple dalmatic on the deacon.
Purple. Our parish has no rose vestments, which I am fixing to rectify by Laetare Sunday, budget allowing.
Pink, er Rose, that is. Archbishop Emeritus Kelleher was at my Olathe, KS parish to celebrate a baptism. He said that the holidays are holy days, but if we remove the holy days from the holidays, they will become hollow days.
St. Patrick, Nashua, NH ----> Rose
Does Stole under the chasable get bonus points?
Father wore rose for Gaudete Sunday at Queen of Angels in So. Jersey and gave an excellent (as always) homily on the need to be fully immersed in the reflective season of Advent and on the humility of John the Baptist.
Blackfriars' Cambridge, UK: Rose vestments with rose lectern frontal and matching stoles for concelebrants!
We used rose chasuble.
Holy Ghost in Denver.
Rose chasuble and a rose dalmatic on the deacon.
What can I get with my bonus points?
The Chapel of the Immaculate Heart at Lewisham in Sydney has the regulation number of Rose copes for Solemn Vespers (5?)- of recent vintage. I wasn't there but I would be surprised if they weren't used.
