This isn't right, proper or correct…but it is what it is . Priests such as now-Pope Francis, accustomed to saying Mass in a garage, in a street corner, in a vacant lot, or in a VERY poor parish are going to develop, by necessity, such an approach. But watch Pope Francis during the Consecration. Notice how long he "holds" the Elevation. On point 2 I, personally, wish he had done it ...http://jmgarciaiii.blogspot.com/2013/04/youre-really-not-going-to-like-it.html

A Jesuit Pope and the Two Standards FR RAY BLAKE'S BLOG - March 27, 2013 "I will destroy the Church." "But the clergy have been doing that for the last two thousand years, and still they haven't succeeded".

Celestine V rather than in the literary "wisdom" of Dante. In many things, Catholic thinkers and writers have deferred to Dante, but his judgment of Celestine V proved incorrect and may be shaped more by the travails of his era than by the actual facts of Celestine's life.
