    "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).

    • Also on Pentecost and during its octave.

    Following Pius XII's reforms of Holy Week, red is also worn for part of the Palm Sunday Mass.

    • Also for votive Masses of the Holy Spirit, Holy Cross Day, Votive Masses of the Passion or of Martyrs.  It is also sometimes worn for ordinations and confirmations, but that may be a modern practice.  I have also been told that it is worn on Christ the King in Poland becasue red is associated with royalty there.
