    • The traditional Roman Catholic clergy has always had a clean cut (short hair no beard).

    What are your thoughts on long hair / beard on the layman?

    • The smartest, most kind and beautiful traditional Catholic men I know have long hair and a beard.

    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    • I don't care for long hair or facial hair.  I like short hair, smoothly clean-shaven, well-groomed.  The Dr. House two-day grizzled look is just gross.  A flat-top crew or military cut is ideal, or, if elderly, a little longer, but it must be very neat.  No man should attempt to cover his mostly bald head with four strands of long hair that are shellacked in place.  This is just laughable.  Of course, I state my personal preference.  In many parts of the world, a priest isn't a priest without a full beard and lots of hair.  Still, it has to be neat and clean unless he is a hermit or a missionary to primitive peoples of some sort and he lives outdoors.

     St. Francis Xavier threw a Crucifix into the sea, at once calming the waves.  Upon reaching the shore, the Crucifix was returned to him by a crab with a curious cross pattern on its shell.

    • Wanna have some fun? Ask a prottie whether Our Lord had long hair. When they say that He did, ask them how they know, considering that Scripture makes no mention of Him having long hair. What they're unwittingly doing is relying on tradition (the painting Head of Christ, for example).

    "This principle is most certain: The non-Christian cannot in any way be Pope. The reason for this is that he cannot be head of what he is not a member. Now, he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian, as is clearly taught by St. Cyprian, St. Athanasius, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and others. Therefore, the manifest heretic cannot be Pope." -- St. Robert Bellarmine

    That's ingenious Charlemagne.  I will try that next time I get into a heated debate with one of these heretics.  Of course, by the same token, I did recently find a movie on netflix about Christ's life and it portrayed him with short hair.  Pretty sure it was made by protties too.

    • It would appear that our Lord had longer hair and a beard.

    • This is interesting.  I always believed that we were to follow the local customs of good taste.

    I hope my hubby never grows long hair.  It would be a 'fro.

    Maybe since the death of Pius XII, but it hasn't always been the case by a long shot.  Beards were favoured amongst clergy for most of the Counter-Reformation, namely the late XVIth and the entire XVIIth centuries.

    • I couldn't care less about the length of a Trad-Man's hair or if he chooses to have facial hair.  I am much more interested in the content of his character.  By the way, I do agree with Mithrandylan - a young, married man at out Chapel sports a well-groomed ponytail and beard. He is a very dignified, highly intelligent, and articulate member of the SSPX Resistance (as is his beautiful wife).

    Short hair and beard.  A couple examples would be St. Edmund Campion and St. Francis de Sales.  That said, it doesn't really matter.

    • Long hair is another sign of rebellion in our culture. I find it repulsive in men, and NO pony tails.    :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf:
