This obsession has reached a new level. A year after the death of Benedict XVI, the supreme commander of Santa Marta ordered his master of ceremonies and the staff of the sacristy of St Peter's to remove the coat of arms of Benedict XVI from a set of chasubles in four of the five liturgical colours, writes SilereNonPossum.com (31 December).
The coat of arms will be replaced by the tiara and the keys of St Peter. The vestments with the coats of arms of Paul VI, John XXIII and John Paul II are [still?] in place.
SilereNonPossum.it calls this "a crazy expense". It would have been cheaper to buy new chasubles instead of carrying out this "damnatio memoriae".
After Benedict XVI's death, Francis showed all his contempt for his predecessor when he wanted Benedict XVI's corps to be loaded onto a minibus at dawn and brought into the Vatican Basilica through a side door.
