Traditional Ecclesial Splendor. Look like what you are. Common sense.

(Pics found on Great site: WWI color pics)

I like the last picture best– it’s too bad the ‘full’ Roman collar seems to have gone extinct these last few years, even before VII. And, he looks a lot like one of my teachers. LOL.

Do we know anything about the bishop in the third photo? I’ve never seen or heard of gold fringe on a purple fascia. I wonder if he had some unusual privilege granted to him, or perhaps he just liked gold fringe.

Hello Father, I forgot what page I found that specific picture on the linked site: http://www.worldwaronecolorphotos.com/

The bishop is “Monseigneur Pechenard”. I think he was Bishop of Soissons, France.

Archistrategos: the Canon in the last picture is wearing the traditional French-style collar.

Fr. Tucker: it also looks like the Cardinal in the first picture has gold tassels on his sash.

Also, as regards the first picture, in what context would a cardinal wear his choir cassock with cappello and ferraiuolo? Or is that pure photographic creativity?

SMN: I don’t believe it is staged. These were real people during WWI.

Conserning the third picture from the top. I remember seeing something similar in the movie “The song of Bernadette” Is this something a “ordinary” priest also can use, with the cope and the large brimmed hat, or is it reserved to certain priests?

Love your blog
