Cardinal Ottaviani's, Prefect of the Holy Office under Pope Pius XII, and 2nd in authority only to him, Condemnation of the novus ordo missae to Montini, Paul VI:

Ottaviani renounced his condemnation, in the early 70s.

As for the tiara, the sedia gesttatoria, white buskins, gloves, jeweled mitres, the cappa magna, and all the other trappings worn by the successors of fishermen, I say "good riddance."

Dear sinkspur,

"As for the tiara, the sedia gesttatoria, white buskins, gloves, jeweled mitres, the cappa magna, and all the other trappings worn by the successors of fishermen, I say 'good riddance.'"

How can you say that?!? Don't you realize that the pope wouldn't be pope without all that stuff?!? Didn't Peter and Linus and Anacletus and Clement have tiaras and all that stuff???

NO???....

... Well are you sure they were really popes??
