Best Answer

The pope is assisted by the Papal Master of ceremonies who is almost always by the pope's side during liturgies. The current holder (2013) is Monsignor Guido Marini. The Master of Ceremonies is apponted by the pope for a 5 year term.

The Master of ceremonies is an official of the Papal Court responsible for the proper and smooth conduct of the elegant and elaborate rituals involving the Pope and the sacred liturgy. He may also be an official involved in the proper conduct of protocols and ceremonials involving the Roman Pontiff, the Papal Court, and other dignitaries and potentates. Examples of official liturgical books prescribing the rules and regulations of liturgical celebrations are Ceremoniale Romanum and Ceremoniale Episcoporum.
