I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of Thy house,

and the place w Thy glory dwelleth .

Psalm XXV, 8

And at the turn of the 20th century,

t was NO DOUBT as to w

THAT PLACE was:

The One Holy Roman

Catholic and Apostolic Church,

its precisely defined

PROTOCOL and ETIQUETTE

emanating

unequivocally and unambiguously

from the splendor of the Papal Court

of the Holy See at the Vatican!

Have you been surprised

as our beloved Holy Father

POPE BENEDICT XVI

[and may the Christ whose Vicar he is preserve him unharmed from the violence of the modern jihad which threatens him for his proclamation of the Truth!]

has slowly but surely restored to use

Papal vesture

not seen in years?

If you had this book, t would be

NO SURPRISES!

Indeed, you would be anticipating

restorations yet to come.

The silk mozzetta with its little hood (wasn't that abolished?), the camauro, velvet mozetta,

and snazzy, brim-turned-up Papal "sun" hat

are all featured in!

For all who cherish the memory of

THE GLORY THAT WAS

and who are resolved to define and embody

THE DIGNITY THAT SHOULD BE

associated with

ALL MATTERS ROMAN CATHOLIC,

THIS is the MUST HAVE manual

before which all others

past and present

must bow:

long out-of-print,

impossible-to-find

prohibitive-to-buy

in its original edition

now beautifully reprinted in an

accessible and affordable format!

Now these Prelates would naturally desire to have their official costume conform as far as possible to the rules and prescriptions of the Church with regard to its color, shape, trimmings, etc.

They will find this manual at least useful as a book of reference in matter of the costume which they are privileged to wear.
