It seems that this kind of fabric is not only popular as an inexpensive bed covering. With a cut here and a hem there, it can be made up into chasubles for a Papal Mass...

Bedspreads and chasubles
The teaching term started yesterday at Wonersh. The domestic staff had made up my bed during the summer vacation with a bright and cheerful duvet cover:

What a shameful way to treat what I think is a really rather uplifting duvet cover.
ROLF!!

Just wait until you get a load of the pink one with fuzzy bunnies. Who said you couldn't bring Gaudete and Laetare Sunday up to date?
Very funny! Check out your sister on my blog at the Newman book Launch..
Why not take it as evidence that the MP is having an effect and that sem now requires students to wear clerical dress when they go to bed?
This could be the start of something big:)
Another reason why we need the Motu Proprio?
Good grief! What on earth are they wearing!?
Please Lord, bring the counter-revolution soon!
A Franciscan bedspread how lovely!
Nick, you have to admit Francis of A. was a few bricks shy of a load. The jacks and 10s were missing out of the deck. More than a few splinters in the windmills of his mind. A few french fries short of a happy meal.
Elevator didn't go to the top floor any more. When you have a founder like that - what kind of vestments would they come up with?
Shantung silk is what they're wearing. Handcrafted by some nun skilled in the textile arts.
And that's what she came up with. Sigh.
LOL! Well, the Vatican is encouraging reuse and recycle these days.
There is a lot to be said for the good old days before the internet, when television pictures, newspapers, etc., were all black-and-white.
No, Maureen, shantung silk was what the Pope was wearing on Sunday in St. Stephen's, Vienna. While I didn't like it very much - especially the green mitre, as there ought to be no such thing - at least it was made with craftsmanship and from worthy material. The vestments from Mariazell are neither, they're just awful. And as we learn today from Fr. Z, we have to thank Msgr. Marini for them - the Austrians were going to have the Pope wear baroque vestments.
They are also wearing plastic chasuble macs to keep the rain off!
I think I would go easy on the mental assessments of SAINT Francis of Assisi.
Fr. Tim, I think I'll suggest to the rector that we cut uup your duvet cover and make a nice concelebration set out of them!! Ha ha!

Oh, I thought they were the modernist priests who were afraid of being sprinkled at the asperges.
