- dragonwriter 1y agoIt symbolizes the unity of the Church (and the College of Cardinals specifically) with and supporting the new Pope; its not exactly opaque.
- echoangle 1y agoIs that unusual?
- dragonwriter 1y agoNo, its a normal part of the process mentioned briefly (but not explained, perhaps because the symbolism is... really exactly what it seems on the surface) in most of the “what will happen with a new Pope” stories.
