  1. Is someone attempting to slit his throat? On second thought, perhaps that's a microphone rather than a knife. A microphone at the Consecration... because God is hard of hearing.

  2. Is that the Consecration? I would imagine (hope...) it's the Offertory, given that he's still wearing his zuchetto.

  3. If it's the Offertory, then according to the rubrics, he should be slightly elevating the paten, not the bread itself.

  4. I dig the wine decanter.

    Also, what is the left hand with the mic trying to do? Commit sepukku against the bishop?
