Patrick Cardinal Hayes (1867 -1938)

A reader suggested that I post some photos of Cardinal Hayes. So I went and found some. Here they are:

In procession
[Erm... This, of course, is not Cardinal Hayes, but Cardinal Farley, Hayes' predecessor. This happened due to a wrong photo-caption and laziness of the eyes on my part. Thanks to Fr. Selvester for coming to the rescue!]

Patrick Joseph Hayes became the fifth archbishop of New York in 1919 and was made a cardinal in 1924.

Munich, 1960

A procession during the International Eucharistic Congress.

Two nice postcards...

... of Mattia Vicario, bishop of Saluzzo (1895 - 1901) and bishop of Novara (1901 - 1906)

Shriek!

Anglican or not: This mitre-cope-stole-combo may only be worn while dancing to "Staying Alive" after having had three Harvey Wallbangers.

José Sebastião Cardinal de Almeida Neto (1841-1920)

He was the Patriarch of Lisbon from 1883 to 1907, when he retired. He was made a cardinal in 1884. During the religious persecution of 1910 he was expelled from Portugal and went to Spain, where he lived in the Franciscan convent of Loreto, Seville. He died near Seville in 1920.

Andreas Rohracher (part II)

I already posted some photos of Andreas Rohracher, archbishop of Salzburg from 1943 to 1969, a month ago. I have some more that I'd like to share with you.





There's still more, so watch out for the next installments of archbishop Rohracher.

Malta

The pictures of Archbishop Paul Cremona of Malta in cappa magna currently appearing online reminded me that I still have a handful of photos from Malta that I wanted to share with you. I found those pictures online during the past years (can't even remember where) and I don't really know anything about them other than they were all taken in different Maltese cities. I've only been to Malta once so far but I will go there again. Because as far as Catholicism goes, this little island has got it all:

Our Lady


The Ombrellone


Street decorations


Fireworks


Altars


Illuminated churches


Red damask


Canons


And, of course: The cappa magna!


Paul Cremona on Feb 9th during first Vespers for the feast of the shipwreck of Saint Paul. Those are the most current ones and you've probably already seen them on NLM or elsewhere.


Two more photos of Archbishop Cremona...


... date and occasion unknown.


Two shots you might already have seen on the old "Far Sight": Archbishop Cremona again...


... and his predecessor, Giuseppe Mercieca.

Léon-Adolphe Cardinal Amette (1850-1920)

He was achbishop of Paris from 1908 to 1920 and was made a cardinal with the title of Santa Sabina in 1911.


Georgeous man-lace

During the funeral of his predecessor, Cardinal Richard. I really like this photo.

The Archbishop

The Cardinal

No!

No! Nononono! NOOOOOOOOO!

Holy Mary,...


... Mother of God,...


... please...


... make it STOP!

Source.

Yes!

I don't even know if these guys are real or if they just set up a studio scenario for a shot with alleged (and apparently Spanish) priests. Anyhow: This photo rawks (I know you're not supposed to talk "urban dictionary". I do it anyways, because it's fun, at times)!

Don't know...

... who. Don't know when. Don't know where. Don't know what. Don't know why.



But I do know that the fascia just looks weird when you wear it like this.

Sweet!

This lovely photo of cardinal Spellman and what has to be his youngest camera-toting fan is just yearning for a smart caption, but I can't think of any...

I love it!

Check out this proud and well-dressed fellow:

António Alves Martins, O.F.M., bishop of Viseu, Portugal from 1862 to 1882.

"Giovane Scuola"

... or "young school" refers to a group of Italian composers who succeeded Verdi and flourished in the late 19th and early 20th century. In this photo we can see three members of these group in their "not so young school anymore" days.



Left to right: Umberto Giordano ("Andrea Chénier"), Mons. Lorenzo Perosi (the only "giovane" who never wrote an opera, brother of Carlo Cardinal Perosi), and Pietro Mascagni (of "Cavalleria rusticana"-fame).

Strange: This elegant photo brings back memories of times that I never witnessed.
[Note to self: Get head examined]

Do you prefer...

... to get out of a car dressed in a cappa magna...

Bishop Diepen from Den Bosch (or 's-Hertogenbosch) in the Netherlands. Okay, I admit it: When I saw the position of the grate in relation to the cassock, my first thought was 'Marilyn Monroe!'


... or dressed in a tabarro?

Pietro Cardinal Fumasoni Biondi. I don't know what exactly is happening here. The guy in the back with the chauffeur's hat in his left hand looks like he is holding the door while performing some kind of dance. Maybe he was just happy that he drove the cardinal safely to wherever he was going.

Fluffiest, cosiest, comfiest ermine ever!

I just found this (rather small) picture of Johann Friedrich Karl von Ostein, archbishop and elector of Mainz/Germany from 1756 to 1763. Doesn't that just make you want to save all your money for two decades and then run and get an electoral coat? Honestly, I think the depiction of the fur is quite masterful. And it's not even a cappa!
