Was the maniple made optional after the Council? I thought its use in the Novus Ordo Mass was suppressed.

As the article says, only made optional.

The maniple is not somehow a vestment particular to the subdeacon, as is the tunicle; it is particular to those in major orders. (The subdiaconate is considered to be conferred by the ordinand receiving the chalice and paten from the bishop.) It is unreal to prescribe specific measurements to the maniple. The reference to “very conservative Catholic parishes etc.” is inappropriate political commentary and rather condescending! The maniple is always worn during the Gospel (save for the Deacons of the Passion in Holy Week) but may be removed to preach. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Exiledpete (talk • contribs) 03:42, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
