		Considering the Vatican is in possession of footage from the time of Leo XIII as well as that of Pius XI and possibly something of the other two neglected popes:Pius X and Benedict XV, the slight treatment given is somewhat disquieting.

		ITS ORIGINS ARE SOMETIMES THOUGHT TO DATE BACK TO BYZANTIUM WHERE BYZANTINE EMPERORS WERE CARRIED ALONG IN A SIMILAR MANNER, BUT MANY SOURCES INDICATE, THE USE OF THE SEDIA IS OF A MUCH EARLIER DATE, PROBABLY BEING DERIVED FROM RITUALS ACCOMPANYING THE LEADERSHIP OF THE ANCIENT ROMAN EMPIRE.
