[/quote] it can be a little warm but I usually wear very little under my habit in summer......but if you are going out somewhere it's always safer to wear something presentable just in case you have to remove your habit
Cam42 Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 [quote name='homeschoolmom' post='1025466' date='Jul 16 2006, 04:20 PM'] Okay, so... what do you wear under a cassock? Regular clerical outfits? Cuz I would that that would be horribly hot in the summer. [/quote] I know that you've seen pictures of me in a cassock. Sooooooo.....normally I wear dark slacks and a soft collared shirt or banded white shirt under mine, however, when it is insanely hot, I wear shorts and a T-shirt, with long black socks and black shoes. Back in the the 19th century and before, there were actually pants made for the cassock which looked like knickers (similar to what Payne Stewart (the golfer) wore, but not so poofy). If you look at my profile picture you'll see me at St. Peter's holding my cassock and surplice. So, you can get an idea of what I would normally wear, sans jacket.

HOWEVER, FOR THE DAY TO DAY HUSTLE OF DIOCESAN PRIEST LIFE THE CLERICAL SUIT IS JUST MORE PRACTICAL AND FUNCTIONAL. I LIKE BOTH. [/quote] Father Pontifex!! : : Out of all the priests I know, I think this would be their answer as well!!
Cam42 Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 [quote name='Colleen' post='1025379' date='Jul 16 2006, 11:58 AM'] I think it's cool when Priests wear birettas, too. [/quote] Birettas have never been abolished and outside of North America, they are more commonly used. The reason that they are no longer used here, is quite trivial, but nevertheless the reason: In the late 50's and early 60's JFK stopped wearing a hat, so men wearing hats was not in fashion, so out went the biretta, again, it is a style thing....when hats come back, I believe you'll see birettas come back.
homeschoolmom Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 I wish men (in general) wore hats. My dad always wore one (well, he still does, I guess)... very cool.

Domine ut Videam Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 I think it is up to the priest......there is one priest i know who always wears a cassock.....and some just wear clerics....... I love 'em no matter what they wear though.
ThyWillBeDone Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 At the seminary I attend all the seminarian (including College seminarians which is rare) must wear cassock to mass. For classes, meals, LOTH and any official activity on campus the dress code is either clerics or cassock, it up to the individual(off campus we wear black suits, white dress shirts and black ties we look like mormons). Some guys were the cassock basically whenever we need to be in dress code, like me : . I just love the tradition behind of the garment, and well : it also very comfortable. God Bless
blovedwolfofgod Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 i LOVE cassocks. I wish they werent sacramentals, then I could wear one.

Cam42 Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 So, ya like cassocks and birettas.....how bout these? [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v672/camilam42/agnesDayVespers3-1024.jpg[/img]
Paladin D Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 My priest wheres the cassock for Mass, and then uses his clerical suit for other church related activities. I personally like both, nor do I mind seeing a priest in normal civilian clothing as long as he has a white collar at least to distinguish himself.

Birgitta Noel Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Fr. Pontifex, why for confessions? I'm intrigued.
