cmaD2006 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) It was just a joke relating to how she was wearing the vestments wrong, you know. But it does have some validity to it: If they won't listen to the Church on ordinations, why the heck would they care about what colors are supposed to be worn on the liturgical calender? I would imagine machines do more sewing than anything else, but I honestly haven't looked into who or what sews Mass vestments. You're forgiven ... it's just that the way the generalization was made. The statement read as if *all* women would just change the colors/designs. (you said "that's why women can't be priests; they'll change the vestments and make it all girly-girly" ... implying that women would do that, not specifically "those with the women-priest mentality") BTW -- there are a number of cloistered nuns who work on vestiments, and a lot of the embroidery (especially of the more finer ones) are done by hand. The sisters I was with in Argentina would do the embroidery of the community's insignia for the priests' vestiments and always do something special when a brother seminarian was about to be ordained.

EmilyAnn Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Ah yes, embroidery on vestments. Hand embroidery is no easy task and vestments usually include a lot of goldwork, which I swear was created as a form of torture. Even without goldwork, you're talking about days if not weeks of work.

Yeah. If I say anything about women's ordinations, unless it is clearly serious, just assume I am joking if I make a generalization like that. I see. That's cool.

To Jesus Through Mary Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Ah yes, embroidery on vestments. Hand embroidery is no easy task and vestments usually include a lot of goldwork, which I swear was created as a form of torture. Even without goldwork, you're talking about days if not weeks of work. Or months!! ...depending on how ornate. I worked on a set of altar clothes once and it took me 6 weeks!! Granted I am not the most skilled. But I can only imagine a chasuble would take forever!! (especially with the gold-work that is a torture- for sure!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscerningCatholic Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 We had a Carmelite sister (cloistered, but out of the cloister for medical care in the US) who came over and sewed vestments for one of the local priests...it was a weird kind of gold fabric that looked quite impossible to sew. I'm not sure if she did any embroidery or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that - let us all be honest here - we should be adding an extra couple days to make an excellent maniple. Not that any wymynprysts would care.

Vestments are so beautiful, but the embroidery must be killer to do. I can't remember where, but I saw some beautiful ones with St. Therese on.

Mary+Immaculate<3 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 The frightening thing about it is that the group posting it is serious. True story bro. First time I watched this I honestly thought it was a joke until the end when there was an ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starets Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I think they blow their cover with the line about how the Pope is in their way. It's all about career aspirations to them. Shall I become a priest? shall I become a teacher? or shall I gather at the river? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscerningCatholic Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 If you REALLY care about being Catholic (like these women try to appear), you're gonna freak out if you're excommunicated. Allow me to rephrase that. If you really care about being Catholic, you're not going to do anything that will get you excommunicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
