Does anyone know what goat nails even are?

No.

But I bet you won't find them mentioned in any approved liturgical books or rubrics. :wink:

"Then the Subdeacon, removing his tunicle, grasps the goat's nails and bangs them rhythmically together, twice at a Low Mass, six times at a High Mass,(seven when the Bishop is present...)"

I was not talking about Novus-ordo-religion books. I meant real liturgical books and rubrics of the real Catholic Church.
