I am what you call a "Papal Collector". Anything about Pontiffs, papacies and the regalia related to it fascinates me and I try to find samples of it. I have some that are rare, too!
While John XXIII was the last pontiff to experience an unchanged Coronation, Paul VI was the last one crowned, albeit a shortened ceremony.
There exists full footage of John XXIII coronation online but not for Paul VI
Has anyone ever seen Paul VI's coronation?
Anyone know where to get a full copy of it?
...For some reason, I cannot upload pictures on my posts :(
I un-earthed a copy of the Life magazine with his coronation on the front cover when I cleaned out my parents house.... can you imagine a full issue coverage of a popes coronation today??

Anyone with more than half a brain, not insane, and having excellent logical reasoning skills (unlike some) know where to find it? I was actually thinking of contacting Rome but I don't know which department/ office to send my inquiry.

Gee, sorry.
That wasn't towards you. I apologize if you thought I offended you. I'm prejudiced against conspiracy theorists and unsubstantiated claims against pontiffs.
