There were no organ strains, no bursts of incense, only the sound of
shoes echoing softly off the vast stone surfaces of St. Paul Cathedral
as Bishop David Zubik paced down the center aisle with a small group of
priests and acolytes bearing candles and a crucifix.
Once at the front, the Roman Catholic bishop of Pittsburgh, clad in a purple robe symbolizing penance, prostrated himself in front of the altar for five silent minutes.
