[ know a priest who wears cologne. Possibly cuz in my culture, we spray ourselves down. It's not something of attractiveness neccisarily. It has to do with class. ]
I love that Quote I definatly agree
I wear mine everyday and plan to when I become a priest
Wearing colougne just makes you feel good and people enjoy being around people who smell good.

agreed

what's so bad about wanting to smell good?

[quote name='Dave' date='Mar 7 2005, 09:02 PM'] No, you're totally missing the point. You know what they say assuming does, don't you? At any rate, cologne is usually associated with attracting others, at least if those cologne commercials are any indication, although it seems now that, judging from the other responses, that's not necessarily the case. Actually, I'd have felt the same way if the priest was straight. But considering what others have said, I think I'll be changing my position. [/quote]
You are the one worried about the guys sexuality.

"... this priest acted rather effeminately what with the way he talked, certain mannerisms, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if he was gay. So if he is in fact gay, then to me his wearing of cologne could possibly give people the wrong idea"




What is wrong with any man wanting to smell good, whether he is a priest or not.?
What is wrong with anyone wanting to smell good?

I really think it is fine to wear cologne or perfume sometimes. The problem is no matter what the reason, because we want to smell good, for ourselves, for our culture, it still may have an effect on people around us. I don't know about guys, but girls are so into smell. Someone mentioned that Axe commercial, and I totally agree with him. The girls in the commercial are acting sensually with objects because they smell good. Imagine what it does to women when a man smells really good. I've hear young girls talking about having a crush on a guy just cause of the smell of a his cologne. It could also be a form of vanity, if you get really attached to wearing a certain scent.

I'm really not saying that no one should ever smell good, but just that no matter what our intentions or reasons are, we still should be careful. If you shower and wear deodorant, you're not gonna smell bad anyway. You'll smell fresh and clean, which is a lot nicer on a day to day basis.

The saints probably avoided these things all together.

I think its just peachy if the priest wears cologne. Especially if it is peach smelling cologne. *ducks and runs*

Seriously, its none of our business to question or make guesses about why.

I think this thread chould be closed on the account of implying that a priest might be gay...

[quote name='Dave' date='Mar 7 2005, 04:07 PM'] What do y'all think of a priest who wears cologne? The previous pastor at the parish in my hometown wore it. Maybe I'm weird for thinking this, but to me it just didn't seem right. [/quote]
Whoa Dave, easy there buddy, Priests are people too.

Sorry guys, I had no idea such strong reactions would be elicited!

[GuardianoftheSacraments]

Nah don't worry dave, It is a very interesting topic and a good one at that. I'm sure many people here were wondering the same thing and now we voiced what we all thought. Very good discussion. Except for that peach comment
