March 5, 2013. (Romereports.com) Nearly an hour after the end of the third general congregations, Boston Cardinal Sean O’Malley said he would likely wear his Capuchin cassock until his death.
When asked if he would trade it for the white cassock if elected Pope, O’Malley said no, but not as an act of defiance.
CARD. SEAN O’MALLEY
Archbishop of Boston
“I’ve worn this uniform for over 40 years, and I presume that I will wear it until I will die, because I don’t expect to be elected Pope, so I don’t expect to have a change in wardrobe.”
The archbishop of Boston, along with Houston Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, answered questions about the pre-conclave deliberations taking place inside the Vatican.
