Re: Religious vocabulary question

I would say "installed" amd checking with Catholic dictionary (https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08050a.htm) seems to confirm.

(Sorry for terse reply, still in land of very limited time to type. Still reading and enjoying salon though 🙂)

ETA: of course I know Amalie wasn't Catholic! That's just the first link that came up when I went to Google to check.

I had *just* found "installed" when Googling on my tablet! And yes, Catholic sources, but until and unless we find out that the Lutherans changed the name for this, I'm going with it. Thank you!
