The Papal inauguration of Pope Francis was held on 19 March 2013〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=19 March 2013: Mass for the inauguration of the Pontificate )〕 in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican. Holy Mass was celebrated by Pope Francis before political and religious leaders from around the world. The crowd was estimated between 150,000 and 200,000. Official delegations from 132 states and various religious groups attended. It was the first papal inauguration attended by the Patriarch of Constantinople in over 1000 years. == Ceremony == About half an hour before the Mass, Francis toured the square in the popemobile to greet the crowds. He stopped and left the popemobile once to kiss a disabled man. Pope Francis used a mitre that he has had since he was bishop. His chasuble matched the miter. He used the same pastoral staff that Benedict XVI used. In contrast to Benedict XVI's grand liturgical sense, Pope Francis kept the songs and liturgical actions simple. According to Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Pope Francis's lack of singing during Mass is attributed to him having only one lung. After the Pope's arrival, the ceremony began with the new Pope descending to the tomb of St. Peter in St. Peter's Basilica. The pope, along with the Patriarchs and Major-Archbishops of the Eastern Catholic Churches prayed at the tomb. Afterwards, the pallium—a lamb's wool shawl—and the Ring of the Fisherman were taken by two deacons from the tomb where they had previously been laid and carried up to be borne in procession.〔 Then the pope and the Eastern Catholic Patriarchs and Major-Archbishops went up to the Basilica main floor and proceeded along with the other cardinals, bishops and other clergy in procession to the square chanting the ''Laudes Regiæ''.〔 As in previous papal inaugurations, the cardinal protodeacon, Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, bestowed the pallium on the Pope.〔 The senior elector cardinal-priest Godfried Danneels pronounced the formal prayer for the new pope before the Ring of the Fisherman was presented.〔 Angelo Sodano, Dean of the College of Cardinals, presented him with his Fisherman's Ring of gold-plated silver unlike his predecessors' which were gold.〔〔 Six cardinals, two of each rank of cardinal, then professed their obedience to Pope Francis on behalf of the College of Cardinals. In previous ceremonies, all the cardinals did so. According to a Vatican spokesperson between 150,000 and 200,000 people attended. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Papal inauguration of Pope Francis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
