Spinnest Habit?

[Fiat_Voluntas_Tua]

I was reffering to the Cassock's for the SJ (Jesuit's.)...Even though they would look diosecen priest's with cassocks...I like it when diosecen priest's wear cassock's...

Totus Tuus,

Andy

Ahahah Crusader_4 giving his bias again for the Jesuits!!! Now the Jesuits dont have a distinct Habit because there is no distinct work designed especially for the Jesuits although traditionally it has been teaching. Actually in Ontario the Jesuits use to wear cassocks but the Orange party outlawed it during the 1800 or early 1900's i beleive and as a result the roman collar became the norm. But if i had my way all the Jesuits world wide would wear cassocks...(ahahah neway go Jesuits!!! I am not Bias I SWEAR!! *fingers crossed* )

Techincally that is a carmalite habit.

I think we should find pics of the basic habits of several common and general orders... (ex. fransican, benedictine, carmelites, etc.) That would be cool! it would even be cooler to trace the history and "evolution" of the habit from its beginnings to now! That would be fun, at least to me it would...

harrumphhhh......!!!

No, the Pope's "habit" is based on the DOMINICAN habit, ever since Pope St Pius V, who was a Dominican. The papal capuce has a split in it, like Dominican bishops used to wear, and the only thing missing is the scapular and rosary.

Before Pius V the popes dressed in red, like cardinals.

Rome ........i mean Adeodatus-- has spoken!!

12/31 - St. Sylvester

Leave it to one of God's dogs ([i]domini canus[/i]) to bark at that. They made the history of the Papal garb VERY apparent at the Angelicum when I got to Rome.

I must say, the Dominicans have a very beautiful habit! Not to mention how cute those uniforms look on the children

Thanks littleflower+JMJ

By the way, did you know I'm in Rome now, like for the next 2 years? I guess Rome has spoken (!!).

See you at the cafe on Tuesday, Pio Nono!!!!!!!!

[PedroX]

Ah, I'm so jealous. Adeodatus and Pio Nono at a cafe!

Ah well. I'm rather partial right now to the habit of the Swiss American Benedictines, but that to be expected I guess.

peace...

Have you guys ever heard of the Cross in the Woods?

They have a doll museum that displays all the habits of nuns and monks. It's really cool.
