To go with a cassock and a new biretta (the 3 gore squarish hat) there’s a new ring, simple and symbolic of one’s fidelity to Jesus Christ and the Church.
Gianfranco Cardinal Ravasi, Pontifical Council of Culture
His Beatitude, Antonios Cardinal Naguib, Patriarch of the Copts, Egypt
Great stuff!
Although the WART on the finger with the ring is creepy. 🙂
warts aren’t something ordination or cardinalatial creation takes away or heals. sadly. with all the hands to pick from, the photographer chose the warted cardinal!
I don’t know, when I saw the wart I thought “here is a human being”. Also inspired that the Lord chooses Princes of the Church – Warts and all. Sorry, I just couldn’t resist.
