He very extravagantly leaned sideways and forward while reaching behind him so as to give his bottom a good scratch; then engaged with his texting machine; then started picking at his fingernails.

The Priest knows they are not for him. It was sad to see Pope Francis in his plain white and black vestments yesterday and all the Bishops in their plain white mitres. I would have thought such a celebration would have called for beautiful vestments.
