A matter that I
often cogitate is why a priest does not wear clerical dress in public, outside
of his church. I accept that there are
occasions when it is impractical to be dressed in a cassock or to wear a shirt
with a clerical collar. I even accept
that the priest has every right to moments when he just does not want to dress in
that way, such as at personal social events.
I do however
believe that this custom, where so many priests do not wear clerical dress in
public, is disappointing. We need to see
our priests out and about. There are a
number of good reasons for this, which I will not get into at this time because
it is not the purpose of this post.
Fr. Zuhlsdorf, a
blogger, has today published an interesting post on this subject of clerical
dress. It is worth reading and so I
decided to share it with you. You can read it here …
