For congregational singing, everyone's going to sing the modern pronunciation. You can mark extra syllables, but it's awkward in the extreme to try and mark pronunciation.

I am remembering someone in her nineties when I was a child, but I really don't think she said pro-noun-ci-a-ti-on, or pro-noun-ci-a-shi-on, but really pro-noun-ci-a-ci-on. It's one that stuck in my head because it was so odd. That and the the five syllables of Ch-r-is-ti-an, which did have a ti sound. Her accent was similar to that of early recordings of the Queen, very slowly enunciating every syllable.

That is OK in this case as it is a plain chasuble - so the stole acts as orphreys. This became fashionable with the advent of the 'chasalb'.

When the Gloria comes back on Maundy Thursday, the bells in the church are supposed to be rung, and the organ used for accompaniment (it is the last time they will be heard until Easter). Likewise, at the Easter Vigil, the organ and bells sound for the first time since Maundy Thursday at the Gloria.

It sounds like you were at a Vigil-less place that nevertheless wanted to mark the old custom. In the same way, there are parishes where the Exsultet is chanted on Easter morning, since there was no Vigil service.

The bells should have been silent since the Gloria on Maundy Thursday and they are rung again at the Easter Vigil to mark the end of Lent and the Vigil.

I seem to remember chasuble/albs in Vanheems catalogues in the 70s.

At least evangelical bishops actually wear chasubles now rather than copes.

I do not know if you remember that there was a big row a year or two ago among the pernickety and those who think they know better than the Holy Father, when Pope Francis included women and non-Christians among those whose feet he washed.

I'm no expert in these things. I'm CofE, not Catholic and my knowledge of this comes only from the Ship and the press. But the feet were supposed to be male, Catholic and preferably at least priests if not cardinals.

That would be interesting. I always stressed to my confirmation students that their confirmation saint didn't have to be the same gender as them. I never had a male pick a woman, though. Male and female confirmands sometimes picked angels; female confirmands picking humans picked mainly female names, but sometimes male names; male confirmands picking humans picked solely male names. It would be neat to see a Pope break this pattern!

I do know some Franciscans with Mary as one of their names in religion, but I think they all go by their other name (eg. "Mary Bonaventure" goes by "Br. Bonaventure" in day-to-day conversation).

In a number of Romance language countries Mary is often used as a male name but comes after a more recognisably male name e.g. Jose Maria (Spanish)
Jean- Marie (French) Giovanni Maria (Italian) and non Romance language but Catholic provenance Erich Maria Remarque (German).

If Maria comes first it will be a female person
e.g. Marie-Jose, a Belgian princess who became Queen consort of Italy.

Don't Cistercian monks all take Mary as a first name, before their usual name 'in religion'? I seem to think Thomas Merton (Fr Louis OCSO) was strictly Frater Maria Ludovicus (if that is the Latin for Louis).

That's curious. I've always assumed the Italian name Mario is the masculine form of Mary.

We use party poppers too.

It is a relic of the time when the bells rang at the start of the Gloria on Maundy Thursday evening - and they ring again when the gloria is resumed at Easter.

The correct term for this is a strepitus.

I've only ever heard "strepitus" used to refer to the loud noise made at the conclusion of the office of Tenebrae. I suppose the ringing of bells could also be called a din or crashing noise, but "tintinnabulum" seems like it might be a more appropriate Latin word.

Yes, the strepitus is not the ringing of the bells during the Gloria. And at the consecration on Maundy Thursday the bells are replaced by the crotalus - a rattle.

That is indeed true, and it is part of the Holy Father's birth name--Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He used it frequently as a cardinal, and it was included in the Latin announcement of his election to the pontificate: Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum: HABEMUS PAPAM! Eminentissimum ac reverendissimum Dominum, Dominum Georgiam Mariam Sanctæ Romanæ Ecclesiæ Cardinalem Bergoglio, qui sibi nomen imposuit Franciscum. In English, that is: I announce to you a great joy. WE HAVE A POPE! The Most Eminent and Reverend Lord, Lord Jorge Mario, Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church Bergoglio, who takes to himself the name Francis.

Normally, Mario is the masculine form of Mary, but when the name is given in honor of Our Lady or another saint whose name includes hers, it is often rendered in the feminine Mary, Marie or Maria, depending on the language. Thuse, one sees St. Jean-Marie Vianney, St. Jose Maria Escriva, or Brother Augustine Mary.

I have always assumed that Mario is an Italian form of the Latin Marius.
Italian language Wikipedia bears this out, though it tells us that Marius is the masculine form of the name of the Roman family 'gens Maria'. It has little to do with the Latin name of the Virgin Mary.

It is possible that the Latin form of the Hebrew name of Mary was chosen for its similarity to the family 'gens Maria'

For what it is worth Italian wikidedia says that occasionally people will use the name 'Mario' because of linking it with 'Maria'

It further suggests that when used for a male person it should be stressed on the 'a' rather than the more commonly stressed'i'

I listened carefully more than once to the Cardinal who announced 'Habemus papam' and it was my impression that he said :

Dominum Georgium Marium S.R.E.cardinalem Bergoglio

It is possible that the Latin form of the Hebrew name of Mary was chosen for its similarity to the family 'gens Maria' in pagan times. However, like all saints' names, when a Catholic chooses the name it certainly is not for the pagan family, but usually the Mother of God or a saint named for her. You can be sure that is from where the Pope's middle name derived.

The last line is what I posted above.

It is true that Mario derives from the Latin Marius, and that was from the family gens Maria in pagan times. However, like other saints' names, when a Catholic chooses the name, it usually is not for the pagan family, but for the Mother of God or a saint named for her. You can be sure that is from where the Pope's middle name derived.

I'm happy to accept the pope's middle name whatever its origin or whatever the intention his parents had in giving him this middle name.

On my screen,however, you seem to have written Dominum Georgiam Mariam - which would suggest a closer link with Maria that Mario indicates.

Church supply companies, who are far more influential in what apparel is used by clerics than many would realize, pushed the stole-over-the chasuble style beginning in the late seventies. The trend peaked in the eighties and early nineties, then began to fade, partly because of RC liturgical reminders than a stole is to be worn under the chazzie, and also because like secular fashion designers (and auto manufacturers), church suppliers are always eager to introduce new items to convince churches that they need the newest and best. There are still some RC places in the U.S. that wear this style, but not too many.

I think one would be too many.

Italian language Wikipedia bears this out, though it tells us that Marius is the masculine form of the name of the Roman family 'gens Maria'. It has little to do with the Latin name of the Virgin Mary.

It is possible that the Latin form of the Hebrew name of Mary was chosen for its similarity to the family 'gens Maria'

For what it is worth Italian wikidedia says that occasionally people will use the name 'Mario' because of linking it with 'Maria'

It further suggests that when used for a male person it should be stressed on the 'a' rather than the more commonly stressed'i'

I listened carefully more than once to the Cardinal who announced 'Habemus papam' and it was my impression that he said :

Dominum Georgium Marium S.R.E.cardinalem Bergoglio

It looks like his birth name is Jorge Mario, but I don't think it would be unusual at all for a boy in a Spanish-Speaking country to be named Jorge Maria. Jose Maria is a pretty common name for men. And in Spanish-Speaking countries, it is also very common for a person to have basically two first names, rather than viewing the second name as a "middle" name.

The Archbishop of Canterbury is not an RC bishop. He is entitled, as he pleases, to ignore RC liturgical reminders, or to be completely unaware of them.

And indeed, a few years back a bishop from an evangelical background would not have worn a chasuble at all on principle. (They wore copes or even rochet and chimere).

Archbishop Welby is wearing a chasuble. I think that's an advance. (Pity about the external stole, but that's a detail.)

I really do not get the point here. Did someone say otherwise?

Quite true. But the stole over the chasuble still looks twatty.

Some here may recall 'That was the week that was' broadcast by the BBC in the 1960s, introduced by David Frost. Frostie would invite viewers to send him quotes that could be misconstrued. One such was a declaration made by a Baptist minister - "I shall wear nothing to distinguish me from members of my congregation". To which DF observed that it almost certainly would ...
