The [Papal Inauguration Mass](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_inauguration) is the first major mass of a new Pope. Elements of a Papal Inauguration Mass may come from the Byzantine Rite of the Catholic Church as stated below: > Papal inauguration is a liturgical service of the Catholic Church within Mass celebrated in the Roman Rite but **with elements of Byzantine Rite** for the ecclesiastical investiture of a pope. Since the inauguration of Pope John Paul I, it has not included the 820-year-old (1143–1963) papal coronation ceremony. I found this interesting as I thought the bulk of ceremonies pertaining to the Pope were fully Latin Rite in nature. So I was curious... What specific elements of the Papal Inauguration Mass derives from the Byzantine Rite of the Catholic Church?
