Hi All, Don't know if you all already know, or would be interested, but it might be worth mentioning that there is a growing trend toward the Latin Mass in the RCC under Pope Benedict XVI. Probably people know that the Latin Mass was largely gone after Vatican II, but John Paul II got the ball rolling by clarifying that people could still have the Latin Mass, if they wanted it....Now, under Benedict, it is really growing. Maybe some of you saw the news coverage of the Latin masses being held in connection with World Youth Day....
What does this have to do with Lace, you might ask? Well, I'm wondering if this trend might also increase the use of the traditional types of vestments that were used prior to Vatican II....People probably know that they were more elaborate, and irequired a lot of handwork, including lace (viz. the antique alb that Jeri, I believe it was, posted a link to a month or so ago).... It's probably worth keeping an eye to the skies -- :<)) Ricki Utah - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
