I understand proper forms of dress for mass and all but they want men to wear full suits while marching many miles in sweltering heat? Women in full dresses doing the same? I am by no means a modernist but I seriously doubt that our Catholic ancestors in the middle ages dressed that uncomfortably on such an onerous trek. Please correct me if Im wrong.

I can understand a more "casual" dress when it comes to long pilgrimages. However, I do think that they make some valid points.

The robes that Christ wore and the costumes the Romans wore would be far more comfotable that the above being put forth by Tradition in action.

The way I seee the problem is that good thin linen or seersucker is too expensive unless you find a treasure at a second-hand store. That's how to be cool and modest for men and women. Then some good shoes for walking.

:wine-drinking:

Maybe it's because everyone is broke and doesn't have the time to shop with small children.

I'd love to go to this pilgrimage one day!
