In reply to the discussion: Did I see this correctly? He wore a blue suit to the funeral? [View all]hlthe2b
(115,204 posts)40. Certainly one who served so many decades in Latin America would hold special devotion to Mary...
I was referencing the official (and only partial) acceptance of Marion sacramentals.
There is a Cardinal (Hungarian) who is Marion and in contention for Pope, from what I've read. Unfortunately, he seems to be an extremist conservative (and in my mind, an a-hole). So clearly, adoption of Mary does not always transfer to a more accepting philosophy:
Cardinal Peter Erdo:
Erdo, 72, is a former President of the Council of Bishops Conferences of Europe - a group of 33 leading Bishops from the continent.
The Hungarian is a devout Marian, which means he directs his religious practices towards Mary, mother of Jesus.
He is known for being a Conservative voice within the Church, and is against divorced or remarried Catholics partaking in Holy Communion. He has made some controversial claims in his time, including likening taking in refugees to human trafficking.

Apparently a dark blue suit (or dress for women) is considered an appropriate alternative now...

He is a Jesuit, not a Marion. But, yes, he has chosen to be buried in a Marion Basilica...

He probably had a black MAGA hat in his pocket, in case it was windy.
