I watched most of it last night. I couldn't stay up to watch it all. I will finish watching it tonight. I liked the uniforms that had (what appeared to be a scapular with) a black and red cross. The commentators were very helpful in explaining that besides for their own parishes' patronal feasts, the Corpus Christi procession is the only time that all of these groups come out to process in the streets of Rome. It must be quite a wonderful and fun experience. How I would love to live in Rome, again.
I also found interesting the facts the commentators presented about the other churches, convents, etc. along Via Merulana (?) and how at the midpoint of the road between the two major basilicas one can see both basilicas. I will have to check that out the next time I'm in Rome.

Those are the Heralds of the Gospel. They're a lay community that make temporary commitments to this way of life. They have a small residence here, and a couple of them show up regularly at St. Patrick's, where they get put to work in processions, etc. Good fellows.

Yep, you spelled it right! I enjoyed that advice also and look forward to exploiting it.
