Triduum & the Roman Catholic use of incense in the USA post Vatican II



I was very happy to catch a local mainstream Roman Catholic group of Christian clergy in white albs using incense outside before the procession of the Paschal Candle (which was properly consecrated with five pins and incense) into the cathedral. I point this out only because of the low church tendencies of the Roman church in New Jersey.
