Wasnt there the 'belt ' which distinguisht sspx, from anglicans, always thought that was a cop -out, not to wear the cassock..

All i was doing was making the point that the cassock should be worn.

Yes, Anglican cassock are distinct from Catholic cassocks.

When i was in England in 2002, all the priests wore the cassock in public, though none of them were English but one, and i never saw him in public.

Yes, this issue has gotten too much attention, and if it is creating the impression that i am starting to oppose my hero(!), then i am just going to let the matter drop.

Pity we couldn't all just agree with NC Bill that it would have been better to wear the cassock and move on.

When certain posts seemed to downplay the significance of the cassock, i felt obliged to highlight its importance.

I am done on this thread, and will not read it again.

Here are just a few of my thoughts (worth about 2 cents):

Clothing does matter:

It is very interesting that one of the first assaults upon priests and religious, after the Vat II Revolution, was the removal of their traditional cassocks and habits. The result was a diminishing reverence for the clergy and religious. After all, they were now, "just like us". The Revolution hates clerical garb which is so dignified.

Professionals dressing like children at play has had the same disastrous effect. Their subordinates no longer grant them the respect that in justice is their due. The professional is treated as if he is on the same level as the nonprofessional (and on down it goes). The Revolution hates dignified attire.

Men dressing like children at play has led to an enormous loss of respect for the role for which they have been created. They are now savaged into accepting an egalitarian position which is foreign to their design.

Women dressing like men has led to them behaving like men, attempting to assume a role which does not belong to them. The result has been a disaster. They have left their homes, abandoned their children to daycare and, naturally, men no longer grant them the protection, care, or courtesy that is their due. Women refuse to grant men the honor and respect of their God given position.

What can be said of the poor, poor children? Their parents are dressed like children at play. Their fathers are not necessarily the heads of their households and are rarely granted the obedience that is their due. They often have absentee mothers and an ever-changing daycare provider. Many of them have become miniature tyrants whose every whim is granted out of parental guilt for not providing them with the 24-7 maternal care they so desperately need. Because of this horrifying situation, vulnerable children are easy targets to be "educated" and socially engineered into a false belief in the revolution with all of its attendant false rights allegedly conferred upon them. And so, the Revolution rolls on.

Yes, clothing does matter. Just as how we pray determines our belief, what we wear contributes to and helps determine our actions. Kyrie Eleison!

May the Immaculate Heart Triumph very, very soon ...
