Papal Master of Ceremonies Appointed to Tortona

As expected Francis has moved Msgr Guido Marini, 56, out of the Vatican and appointed as Bishop of Tortona, Northern Italy.

Marini was the Pontifical Master of Ceremonies, appointed by Benedict XVI in 2007. No successor has been named.

In Tortona, Marini follows Vittorio Francesco Viola, the new anti-Catholic secretary of the Liturgy Congregation.

Below are two videos, one is the announcement of the appointment, the other shows Marini’s reaction when Benedict XVI's ferula fell out of his hand.

Moving from Benedict to the Bergoglian reign of terror must be something that strains a man.

Did the Savior have a "Master of Ceremonies"? Catholics should be ashamed at such a position being in the Church. It disgusts me the pomp and emptiness of these papal appointments. They are not Christ driven.
