Thank you very much for explaining why we wear clerics in public. I think it is a good witness to the world in which we live.
Thank you for answering my question. I really appreciate it. It had been something which was on my mind for a while and I felt like I needed to get it out there. Dank u wel!
During my college years, a priest at the University of Illinois Newman Center sewed a white square into the neckline of all of his t-shirts. I don’t know if it was anything more than a white piece of cloth, and he took it pretty lightheartedly I think. Maybe you need to do something similar in black out of some kind of breathable material and there’s the end of your SQPN funding woes!
Oh, if you do be sure to drop Father Gregg a couple of bucks for the idea.
I think that your explanation about why it’s a good idea to wear (as Fr. Gjengdahl put it) ‘clerics’ in public is a good one. Do you suppose that there would be a similar reason why religious sisters and brothers to wear habits in public?
