Talk:Subdeacon

He wore a maniple, until this was abolished by Pope John XXIII ...

Where is the evidence that it was John XXIII who abolished the maniple? I thought that this was done under Paul VI with the instruction Tres annos abhinc from May 4, 1967. I'll change the article accordingly unless evidence is posted to the contrary.

I thought the reading of the Epistle at Mass/Divine Liturgy was historically the duty of a subdeacon in both the Roman and Byzantine liturgical traditions, although, obviously, this is now almost invariably done by a lay person acting as a reader in both these traditions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.239.152.174 (talk) 03:40, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

 * The maniple isn't abolished. Even Pope Paul VI abolished the subdeaconate (somewhat) but not the maniple specifically, and even in the New Rite, they may still be worn by priests.--2001:A61:20A3:EA01:BD21:ECFC:CE90:27F3 (talk) 11:59, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
