This is a picture of a kid whose arm disappears under a priest’s robe.

I’m the sick one.

You could always attend a Latin Mass and learn. http://web2.airmail.net/carlsch/EFMass/churches.htm

No, it’s a picture of an altar boy grasping the EDGE of the priest’s chasuble and LIFTING IT UP to keep it from binding on itself or the vestment underneath it (called an alb), so the priest can elevate the Host at the holiest moment of the Mass. YOU are trying to make it something else.

This is a depiction of an acolyte holding up the priest’s chasuble at the consecration. It is done at every Traditional Latin Mass. Please cease and desist from this scurrilous attack on an innocent depiction of the Holy sacrifice of the Mass.

I’m NOT a Catholic, but even I can see that you must have a dirty mind: the thumb of the boy on the left’s right hand is visible on the top of the edge of the vestment.

Each boy is using his inside hand to hold the robe, and his outside hand is down at his side. You can follow the upper line of the thumb all the way down to where his wrist disappears into his black sleeve.
