It seems hypocritical that effeminacy is condemned while at the same time the priests wear albs with lace; it looks totally effeminate.

Ever since I saw these albs with lace, the thought immediately came to my mind, and I would honestly not know what to say if someone made this objection.
Give me a break, the Church has used them for centuries. You seem to be looking for problems.

Was Michaelangelo effeminate for painting the Sistine chapel?

He was about as effeminate as a man can get  :laugh1:

The one that +Lefebvre is wearing is probably not what OP had in mind.  I had a bad experience with excessively lacey surplices at STAS -- it was mostly the future SSJ crowd that was very big into these.  We're talking lacey to the point of looking like women's lingerie, not what +Lefebvre was wearing.

Do you have any pictures as examples? I'm not really sure what you mean.

No, I didn't take pictures, but it was like this (and worse ... imagine the top solid part not being there and more floral patterns all the way up and down) --



The entire Urrutigoity cabal wore them and insisted on wearing them.
