Oh my gosh, I don't even want to think about what would happen if this sort of thing happened today... There would probably be an assassination or something. :)
I just noticed that I think the crosier he is using is the same one Bishop Morlino still uses on big feasts! Talk about cool! He's talked about it before, and if I remember, it was Bishop O'Connor's crosier.
The bishop looks in charge. Something modern prelates aren't.
This is the third time the possibility of such a Camp Randall event has come to my attention. This is the first time I ever heard about it actually taking place! Thank you!
