    • I'm about halfway through it. Excellent, as usual.
    However, I admit to being distracted by his not wearing a cassock.

    Where is this?

    Palestine, I think.

    Yes- thank you Mithrandylan. I updated my previous post while listening; there is more context as I continue to do so.

    This is not a dig on, or even directed at, you Stella, because I prefer a Cassock on my priests as well as well. But it bothers me not in the slightest if a Traditional priest in the English speaking countries wear pants and a coat. I care more about a priest having the faith than having my preferred garb for a preist. The only reason I say this is because I've seen some trads who seem to be more concerned with the opposite.

    • What's great about this video is that H.E. basically spends the large chunk of it trying to convert his audience.

    • It never sat well with me either that he sometimes preferred not to wear a cassock when he travelled.

    I was taught that if you need to take your cassock off to go somewhere, it is a sign that you should not be there.

    Archbishop Lefebvre wrote at length in "A Bishop Speaks" about the importance of the cassock and how a business suit ain't the same.

    The parts of the cassock have theological significance, symbolism, and protection a mere business suit does not.

    Archbishop Lefebvre said that everywhere the devil persecuted the church, his first attack is against the cassock.

    Bishop Williamson is my hero, and the great man of our generation, but he is wrong not to wear the cassock.

    None of us is infallible.

    Clearly Bishop Williamson, also my hero, has also shown a preference for a cassock in his own daily life. As to infallibility, we must apply this even the great Archbishop- the hero of our hero.

    I don't think this will be a regular ordeal for him. I trust his judgement here, as in most things, as well.

    • Oh I see about the cassok. Did not pay attention to that. Dangerous to be outside with it in the "friendly world we live in"?

    • Sorry, again. And, in any event, don't we have more important things to worry about?

    When you go before God, you can tell Him you had more important things to worry about.

    When I go before Him, I want to be able to say I did not cut people slack, at His expense, out of human respect.
