Gauntlets in Seoul -- Thanks to the reader who sent along this image of Archbishop Nicholas Cheong of Seoul, Korea, one of the men to receive the Red Hat in the upcoming consistory. The photo is interesting because it shows the Archbishop wearing episcopal gloves during the (Novus Ordo) Mass. Although gloves used to be required of bishops celebrating a Solemn Mass, all mention of them was dropped when the New Mass was introduced during the reign of Paul VI. Kudos to the soon-to-be-Cardinal for making use of them.




Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
