In Raleigh, the service was carefully scripted, with clarion bells, a full choir and a long litany of supplications with the refrain: “Out of the depths, I cry to you, O Lord.”
Zarama and his entourage of priests wore purple vestments, the color of penitence, typically worn during Lenten season.

Why no mention of the purple vestments? Or the symbolism of the color?

I consider the details of the performance to be irrelevant. nt. Mariana Sep 2018 #13

So quick to judge? guillaumeb Sep 2018 #14

They wrote a script (carefully!) and put on a show. Mariana Sep 2018 #15

What is important, as I said in the post, is the actions taken. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #16

Yes. Agreed. Mariana Sep 2018 #17

What is more important, however, are the failures to act. MineralMan Sep 2018 #23

Oh, thanks. MineralMan Sep 2018 #25
