CWNews: "Pope celebrates Mass ad orientem, speaks on Baptism"

A yearly favorite of mine:

Pope Benedict XVI baptized 13 infants, the children of Vatican employees, in keeping with a Vatican tradition on the feast of the Baptism of Christ.

he Holy Father used the ad orientem posture, facing in the same direction as the congregation, using the magnificent altar of the Sistine Chapel rather than portable altar that had been set up in previous years. This provoked widespread comment, with many journalists reporting that the Pope had revived an old liturgical tradition. (In fact, the ad orientem posture was never abolished.)

This choice of the Holy Father has subsequently generated a huge amount of comment around St. Blogs.
