I think part of the difficulty is that 'crucifix' can be taken to mean both an ordinary plain cross and a cross bearing the figure of Our Saviour. Those of us that were around pre-V2 should know quite well that the latter was the practice until V2. Now the Liturgy Profs have seized on loose wording in current instructions (not for the first time!) and used the same to justify nailed together planks of cheap wood and fence panels more appropriate to the back garden! And therefore there has been neither 'Crucifix' nor 'unveiling' in some Parishes for many years. Libera nos Deliver us O My People! CARLO
