Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Does a Priest have to wear his Roman Collar and such under his vestments during a Mass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiat_Voluntas_Tua Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Some priests don't even wear the Roman Collar (Orderly Priests with habits.) So they obviously don't wear it under the Vestments. But I am not sure... I would say no... But I do not know... Totus Tuus, Andrew Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 But they do wear their habits under vestments... I am just curious though because the Priest who comes for Once-a-Month Mass here was wearing a blue plaid button up shirt under his vestments... It kinda concerned me...

toledo_jesus Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 They should wear their collar as a visible symbol of who they are, but a lot don't. They aren't actually required to. sometimes though, it's not a matter of neglecting anything, but convenience. For example, if Father is doing Daily Mass and is planning to do some gardening right after, I wouldn't expect him to be in his clerics. It doesn't take away from what he's doing.

Theoketos Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I know where the info is I just have to find it, but this is a tid bit, it used to be that nothing of the Habit or Cassock or Roman Collar could show before Vatican II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
