HOLY FATHER TO USE MOBILE PLATFORM AT MASS IN ST. PETER'S

VATICAN CITY, 15 OCT 2011 (VIS) - "During the entrance procession from the sacristy to the main altar at tomorrow's Mass in St. Peter's Basilica, the Holy Father will use the mobile platform previously adopted by John Paul II", said Holy See Press Office Director Fr. Federico Lombardi S.J. today.

"The purpose is exclusively to alleviate the efforts of the Holy Father, as already happens with his use of the Popemobile during entrance processions in outdoor ceremonies and in St. Peter's Square".
