Cassock related, I met Fr Hewko a few 'blocks away' from the hall.As I walked the street I saw a towering figure in a cassock ahead of me. Sure enough it was Fr Hewko.

Fr. Hewko, a man largely responsible for my spiritual formation, would never go anywhere without a cassock. And I love him for it.

And look how far it got the majority of them....

Look- all I'm saying is that the interior of the man- his mind and teachings on the faith- are infinitely more important to me than his garb. I don't understand why some Traditional Catholics split hairs on matters like this which are not important to the Faith; I think the bishop has more than proven his Catholic worth. He isn't walking around in a Hawaiian shirt or anything. There may be many reasons for the man to wear what he did when and where he did in this video, and while traveling. He has the permission of the Church prior to Vatican II being in a Protestant, non-Catholic country; not to mention that its not normal garb for him.

This is silly.

And imagine how far they might have fallen without it!

By your logic, Bishop Williamson who, on occasion, wears a priests suit must have fallen to some degree. Not very likely Sean. Obscurus is hitting the nail on the head. I think you are being a little stubborn in your thinking right now, and are not taking into account what he is saying. Nobody is promoting the suit; it is a matter of opinion, not of faith, morals and doctrine; it is a discipline which is changeable. Do we prefer it(the cassock)? You bet your bum.

One last point (I promise), just like Archbishop Lefebvre who, on occasion, wore the clerical suit.

Though to return to main topic,this talk given to the British Friends of Palestine is excellent.We shouldn't get side tracked with nonsense like the Bishop is now liberal for not wearing a cassock.

No, I think NC Bill hit the nail on the head at the top of the page.

You are being stubborn in opposing him, and excusing the Bishop.

If anyone would like, there are many easy ways to make this into an audio recording to listen to in the car. I didn't get a chance to listen to it all, so I may be doing this soon. That we could all have the clarity and knowledge this bishop has!
