thanks, Stephen & Laura.
"objects" would include the Holy Eucharist, would it not?
"hardware" sounds kind of Rough & Ready.
"paraphernalia" is illegal, at least in Southern Indiana.

Jon Canon suggested "furnishings" and, yes, it is somewhat all-inclusive.
but is it better than the "furniture" which i seem to be adverse to?

> Not exactly useful in modern English, but: The medieval canon law tended to
use the Latin vasa & vestimenta.
i.e., as a phrase, "vasa & vestimenta"?
which category do candlesticks fall into?
or ornamented book bindings?
>See the decretal Relinqui [X 3.44.2] in the Gregorian Decretals .
i don't seem to have my copy of that to hand, Tom.
what do modern priests call this, uh.... paraphernalia?
thanks all.
like i said,
Picky, Picky, Picky.
