In others, he appears clearly (nn. 2-3, 13) or presumably (nn. 4, 6, 11, 12, 14-15, 16, 17, 18) as an archbishop.<br /><br />The reason is that after his tenure as apostolic nuncio (and, consequently, an archbishop) in Poland from 1928 to 1935, he returned there in 1936 as cardinal legate to the Plenary Council of the Polish Hierarchy (see http://www.fiu.edu/~mirandas/bios-m.htm#Marmaggi). Pictures n. 7-10 with the Über-Throne and, perhaps, n. 6 with the mantelletta and the cardinal's biretta may have been taken on this occasion.Budapestinensisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788597350558705025.post-88007261670474032682009-12-04T00:45:09.328-08:002009-12-04T00:45:09.328-08:00"Mantelletta, Mozzetta and Ferraiolo!

It was typically worn by younger clerics filling a junior prelacy and often seen among the assistance of a bishop or cardinal. The mantellone was abolished in 1968 as well (sigh).<br /><br />Pompous AssAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
