This photo was taken this year, in Civitavecchia, Italy. The habit speaks of leadership. If you want to have strong bearing on youth in your command then dress in this manner. The priest is the man in uniform. He has a new comportment excelling in composition when he dresses in this garment. It almost cannot even be explained. Mother Church, in Her wisdom, chose this garment and She chose well.
The priest is not wearing a habit. This is a cassock. Habits are worn by members of a particular religious congregation. This is a diocesan priest.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could see more of them in cassocks.
ReplyDeleteIt would still be considered his habit.
ReplyDeleteChurch documents refer to the Soutane (Cassock) as the "Ecclesiastical Habit"
