This was published as an official <a href="/wiki/Liturgical_book" title="Liturgical book">liturgical book</a> of the Church with the name <i>Ordo Rituum pro Ministerii Petrini Initio Romae Episcopi</i> (Order of the Rites for the Inauguration of the Petrine Ministry of the Bishop of Rome).

strictly non-sacramental ceremonies take place not within Mass but either before Mass or without Mass; the individual act of homage by each cardinal is restored; a wider choice of music is provided;
