A man or boy may stand in for a cleric according to long-standing custom, but 'ex temporanea deputatione'. He is not in the clerical state, but is technically not excluded from it, and his assumption of clerical choir dress (cassock and cotta) is appropriate. A woman or girl can never aspire to the clerical state, so the adoption of such vesture is not appropriate.

Evidently this is a strictly Novus Ordo phenomenon. Surely there's some deep underlying reason for this particular EF-OF bifurcation.

However, if you must use female servers, please don’t have them dress in cossack and surplice. The cossack is a male cleric’a garment and its use should be restricted to males. Otherwise, keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-49623730201835235232018-03-11T16:53:07.694-04:002018-03-11T16:53:07.694-04:00Glad others gave voice to that observation.
