FROM MARINI TO MARINI...THE MORE THINGS CHANGE ?
Fr. Zulsdorf offers a translation from Italian of a report on a new papal assignment. The Master of Ceremonies is changing as of tomorrow, but most of us won't even register the change. John Paul's MC Archbishop Piero Marini will become head of the Pontifical Commission for Eucharistic Congresses, and Benedict's new MC will be Msgr. Guido Marini:
The nomination of Msgr. Guido Marini, of the clergy of Genoa, as head of the Office of liturgical celebrations of the Pope, replacing [Archbishop] Piero Marini (who will be nominated as head of the Pontifical Commission for Eucharistic Congresses) will be announced at the beginning of the coming week (probably even Monday). Guido Marini will take possession of the appointment after 21 October, that is, after the Pope’s visit to Naples. But on that occasion he will already be present together with [his] predecessor.
So, is Msgr. Marini brushing up on Latin?
