Everything that was state...Beautiful post, Father!<br /><br />Everything that was stated about young people could also be applied to converts like me. I too left the watered down, ever changing views of protestantism to cling to the Church built upon the solid rock of Peter.<br /><br />When it comes to dress, we lay people also have a role to play. Yes, we want to see the religious back in their cassocks and habits, but we also need to dress appropriately. Dress clothes with MODEST necklines and hemlines should be the norm. A mantilla is a billboard that states 'I'm Catholic' very clearly. Signing onesself before meals or while passing by a Catholic church is also a wonderful silent witness.Carol H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02475843499648488542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-32536458903786500302012-04-28T08:57:54.572-04:002012-04-28T08:57:54.572-04:00Our TLM priest, who wears his cassock absolutely e...Our TLM priest, who wears his cassock absolutely everywhere, was a finalist one year in the diocesan tennis tournament. The diocesan newpaper reported that when his name was announced, he sprinted onto the court wearing his cassock as usual, and then to wild cheers, removed it to reveal black tennis shorts and shorts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-50015681471577711722012-04-28T07:20:47.078-04:002012-04-28T07:20:47.078-04:00Sorry to double post, but found this article short...Sorry to double post, but found this article shortly after the first and thought it would be of interest here.<br /><br /><a href="http://newtheologicalmovement.blogspot.com/2012/04/love-shepherd-beware-of-wolf-tolerate.html" rel="nofollow">"The Shepherd, the Wolf, and the Hireling"</a><br /><br />This sums up my view of the deeply committed Spirit of Vatican II clergy.

Despite theological disagreements and the often misguided anti-Catholic sentiment from prot pulpits, there was always a sense (more or less well-defined) that the Catholic Church was onto something we were missing. There was also a power (Presence, if you will)in those Priests and nuns that even the most devout Protestant minister could not reflect. <br /><br />Now, when I see Priests running around in street clothes and Margaritaville T-shirts and nuns looking like they just stepped out of a meeting of the Daughters of the Eastern Star, I shake my head and think, "what fools, they do not know what they are giving up."<br /><br />Could we make an argument that these mod clerics are sinning by tempting the laity to fall, that they are sowing doubt and despair? Is clerical sloppiness a sin of sloth?Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-74776763159409510882012-04-28T07:12:19.400-04:002012-04-28T07:12:19.400-04:00Amen!!!

We must be in this world but not of this world.

Maybe a retreat. You'll hear loads of this. These guys are modern capital 'E' Evangelists. <br /><br />The local FSSP priest, also Polish, came to the local Deanery meeting. All were in polo shirts and jeans except the young FSSP priest wearing his cassock. It strangely put them off and he is not well received among them for some reason. I have also never seen a chubby FSSP either. There may be some, just I have not seen them. He runs the police basketball league in a poor part of town. Very manly fellow.<br /><br />rcgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-79903210181677524142012-04-28T06:18:16.546-04:002012-04-28T06:18:16.546-04:00Yes, I'm up at 4:30 AM each morning to blog!
